The world of communication has changed irrevocably. With the founding and rapid expansion of the internet, the transnational flows of information, media and applications have never been so open and free. For most of us, we are only a few mouse clicks away from a wealth of knowledge and materials online. We also have the means at our fingertips to produce, publish and distribute through social networks, our own texts, images and viewpoints. Read more

In 2002, I started Asian Journeys Ltd as a social enterprise to address urbanization and environmental projects in Asia, having glimpsed the twin challenges in these two critical areas. It represented a Christian response to the environmental challenge in Asia. Environmental projects were begun both in the cities as well as in the rural areas, focusing on river conservation and tree-planting efforts. Projects were started in Singapore and Shanghai, working with universities and youth organis... Read more

Many Christians today accept macroevolution, but many others reject it. In this article, I shall examine a number of common objections.

Investing in short film projects may seem a strange project to be involved with but there is a back-story to this work that is very revealing.

After nearly two centuries of tireless work translating and distributing scripture overseas, it was important not to overlook our own back yard. The report was ironically called ‘The Open Book Project’. The irony w... Read more

In part – so my theory goes – this might also help us see whether the voice of God in the Scriptures might also be seen by everyday people as significant or even somehow claim authority. Read more
