On the art of chairing meetings

Sometimes, a simple act of summary and appreciation is helpful. I got to learn this.

"Thank you for sharing that, It helps me understand ... ..."
"So you are saying ... ..."
"I am glad to know that ... ..."

I think I was too curt in my last meeting. Live and learn.

WoW39: Take time to be polite. It beats the time spent repairing relationships.

On Lent

Apparently, the CAC of the Methodists has a very good Chinese Article on Lent. I found it while I was looking for an article for Pretzels.

Enjoy this link.

"慢慢地，这40天的大斋节期不但是新信徒上洗礼课程或新会友上会友课程的时候。大斋节期也成为一般信徒透过读经、祷告、禁食、施舍救济、重新与主建立亲密关系的时刻，以便落实他们的信仰生活。"

My idol: Anthony Thiselton

I just read this from Scot McKnight in Christianity Today.

"As I was reading The Hermeneutics of Doctrine a friend wrote me and said he had heard that Thiselton had died. I knew Tony had a stroke. Rosemary, his wife, wrote a short postscript to the Acknowledgments informing us that her husband "was devastated by a stroke." So I wrote to a friend at Nottingham, where I did my doctoral work and where Thiselton now teaches, and the friend told me that Thiselton had had a remarkable recovery and was now back at work. I am grateful and, Tony, I'm standing in line for your next dense book."

Phew! Anthony Thiselton is the absolute best in the field of hermeneutics. May the Lord keep his health well.
