Best wishes to all readers!
I have no longer heard from me. Here is a small opinion on a current topic:
Brief Statement on the "heckling"
Why can very well go to Calling All Nations
In these days makes an email around, by participating in the event " Calling all Nations " 15 July 2006 advises against the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. It is written by Dr. Theo Lehmann, Hartmut Lutz Scheufler and braid. As the executive circle, we want to briefly comment.
We are disappointed that these brothers spread in a critical phase in preparing a mail with misleading allegations, without first looking to talk to us. They criticize both the price and content issues. Also, we would have wished to carry out such a day without a registration fee and are currently doing anything to the budget again to cut drastically. The characteristic of a stadium event caused expenses that can not be avoided. Calling all Nations is of any official Page subsidized and must be entirely financed from ticket sales and donations.
hope at the moment we are more than 16,000 tickets sold to 25,000 participants, so all costs can be covered. All participants have therefore waived fees, fees and reimbursement of costs for travel and accommodation. For this we are grateful.
If the use of the "heckling" exaggerated contrast between the money for a Christian event or to give directly to the mission, would be really could not take place, the majority of Christian action.
The vision of the event is to bring together Christians to praise God, to pray for our country and the to encourage the world and to emphasize the concern of the global mission. This is the program of hymns, prayers, preaching and multiple controls for expression. We are encouraged that many Christians have understood from various churches and characteristics of this concern and to pray together, celebrate and want to hear God's word.
to us under the authority doctrines such as "prosperity gospel" and similar play in the tour group not yet on the day itself a role. The charge in the program itself would find no biblical justification is not true.
As organizers, we hope that many take spontaneously on his way to and from the "interruption" is not the answer astray can do together to worship the Triune God in a large international community of Christians.
tickets are still available in advance and on the day itself at the Olympic stadium available.
