Ponderings brings together blogs, articles and interviews pondering life, faith, and society from the perspective of those who choose to follow Jesus.
We’re looking forward to sharing some ponderings from a number of Christians from different backgrounds, worldviews and interests as we seek to navigate the 21st Century together.
There aren’t any experts here; just fellow travellers.
That said, we do hope the ideas, concerns and questions raised here will be both insightful and challenging, encouraging us – the Church – to engage seriously with our changing world, pursue thoughtful discussion and cast vision for a better future.
We look forward to journeying with you.
