I’m listening to a book in which a London couple in their early 30s are rocked by a news event that relates to them personally. The book counts down the days to their wedding date as the bride to be has to decide whether she wants to go ahead.
I didn’t realise it until I got a way in but the book I’ve started reading on Kindle is about a London couple in their early 30s who are rocked by a news event that relates to them personally. The book counts down the days to their wedding date as the bride to be has to decide whether she wants to go ahead.
The first book (The List) is about misogyny, #MeToo and dealing with anonymous internet allegations. The second (Dominoes) is about race and the legacy of slavery in modern Britain. Very different topics, but you can see why I’m having trouble keeping the two separate in my mind…! I might have to put Dominoes aside until I’ve finished my audiobook
Francis Edward Clark, Congregationalist minister, writes on a thriving church in Budapest. Evangelism, ministry to the blind, veterans, prisoners, sex workers, homeless refugees.
I’ve seen churches oppose aiding refugees— even protest or call the school board if others do so. Is this evangelism?
How can you work towards a church that is like this?
@twobiscuits Apologies that I had to post one quote without context due to space limitation. But he credits the turmoil of WWI, a repartition, and the Bolsheviks causing waves of refugees. See page 652 here: https://archive.org/details/memoriesofmanyme0000clar
@pteranodo Yes there were quite massive displacements of ppl after WW1. In Western countries we tend not to have them in focus, I think. I was actually wondering if it was earlier. Vienna had a huge increase in population around the end of the 19th century, with an attendant hpusing crisis, & wouldn't surprise me if Budapest was similar.
Ah purée mais enfin! Quels dégâts peuvent faire les psys quand tu viens chercher de l'aide auprès d'eux après des VSS
chercher pourquoi tu as autorisé les abus...
ce que tu rejoues de la dynamique de ton enfance...
te soigner de ta peur des hommes...
Chercher tout ce qui fait en toi que tu "as attiré la violence" ou que "tu es attirée par les hommes violents"
Et surtout, surtout ne jamais regarder le contexte autour, ni les chiffres, ne jamais prendre en compte ce que #metoo a révélé.
Combien de femmes qui sortent de thérapie bien plus abîmées, affaiblies, accablées, que si elles étaient restées seules avec leurs angoisses, leurs dépressions et leurs PTSD.
Ca faisait longtemps que je l'attendais, ce podcast.
They need to stop these videos from being "edited to remove the most gruesome scenes." The pro Hamas leftists in the US need to see what they're supporting, and own it.
