A Conversation with a Muslim Leader
A Conversation with a Muslim Leader...
I was recently blessed to have had a significant conversation with a local Muslim leader. The occasion was an interfaith service project to needy families in Greater Boston.
While it was a tremendous joy to provide food to these families, perhaps the greater value of this day was the interaction Christians and Muslims were able to have with one another. Here is a sampling of some of the questions I was able to ask my new Muslim friend:

Detwiler / Intercultural Ministries Update
Dear Friends & Family,
It has now been nearly three weeks since my return to ministry from my sabbatical. I am grateful for the renewal of energy and vision that God has given to me as I enter a new season of ministry. I am also grateful that Intercultural Ministries continued to thrive and move forward under the leadership of my Assistant Director, Dr. Bianca Duemling, while I was away. I am reminded that this is indeed God's work and that it (mercifully) does not rise and fall on my feeble shoulders!

Update from Germany! (from Bianca Duemling)
An update from Bianca Duemling, Ph.D.
Dear Bostonian friends,
It is only a week ago that I have left Boston. However, it seems so long, as it was quite an intense week! Besides a four-hour train ride and the nights, I did not have a single minute for myself. Due to the jet lag, I was not tired at 9 p.m. as usually, but being social until midnight - believe it or not :o)! Although I am a bit exhausted now, I am very grateful for such a rich and encouraging time. It is good to know that I am missed and being supported in my ministry in Boston. I had a good time catching up with friends, heard joyous and sad stories.

Bianca's Spring Germany Trip
An update from Bianca Duemling, Ph.D.
Dear EGC family,
I assume that most of you know that I will be travelling in Germany from May through early June. I appreciate your prayers for my time there, as it will be pretty packed. I will have quite a few meetings and talks to share about my experience at EGC and talk about the Living System Ministry with our German partners in Berlin and Spangenberg. Please pray that I will find the right words and people are open to listen.

New booklet encourages all Christians to help in the church planting process
“There slumbers within every Christian believer in Boston an inner church planter that waits to be awakened, and subsequently then to be put to work. In some way, in a big way or in a little way, every believer in Boston can help a new church get started.”
 This is the subject of a new 20-page booklet by Rev. Ralph Kee, veteran church planter in Boston and animator of the Greater Boston Church Planting Collaborative. He would love to hear your response to his little book, available on this website as a pdf file here. Check out the book, then write to Rev. Ralph Kee, and let him know what you think
So just how can the average Christian help new churches get started? “For starters,” Ralph says, “you can become a committed prayer partner of a church plant currently underway. Let me know your interest and I will connect you with a new church plant right away,” he says.
