Hey Andrew,
Thank you so much for this post, for two reasons. Firstly, I loved hearing that song – the Carpenters were a staple of our household when I was growing up, so it was a real blast from the past full of warmth and nostalgia! Secondly, working France trying to help a small local church be relevant and grow in a difficult and changing environment, I can only attest to everything Jonny said in his post. (BTW, I also picked up a great link from his post to the “Témoins” site – now added to my list and RSS reader.)
Blessings,
Rob

I’m in love with Karen Carpenter.
Thanks for all your generative contributions to the discussion!
