Last academic year was somehow special in Belgium, because we could joyfully see a new ecclesia coming to life in this small country. It has taken years before we could see the efforts of brothers Marcus Ampe and Steve Robinson take fruit. Finally last year, a seed was able to germinate and Méthode Belanwa… Read More A break before going into a new academic year
Since we have a second ecclesia in Brussels, we have paid attention to the way in which an ecclesia or community can be built, or rather must be built. One cannot ignore the fact that to build a community a certain form of kinship or mutual brotherhood and love must be formed. With this science… Read More Weeks with attention to love
The brotherhood today is faithful to the New Testament injunction to exercise hospitality without grudging. Visiting speaking brethren are entertained in a generous and thoughtful manner, frequently from Saturday evening until Monday morning when coming a long distance. There are still a few ecclesias where hospitality is little practised, and households where either husband or… Read More Today’s Thought (August 03): Hospitality without grudging

We also argued that the person or persons living in isolation should know and feel they are not on their own. In a way it might be the task for those who… Read More Being in isolation #7 Mission work
As the culture changes all around us, it is no longer possible to pretend that Christians are a Moral Majority. For the Christadelphian community it was already very clear that Christendom had gone astray and that not many people knew the essence of the Divine Creator and His Plan. In certain parts of the world… Read More Engaging the culture without losing the gospel
Paul, the Apostle established an intimate connection with Christ with his encounter on the road to Damascus…..it blinded him for some time, and perhaps he never recovered fully.
