This is my friend, Karl. Karl is one of the kindest and most intellectual people i have met in quite some time. He’s a thinker, but he’s humble about it. Talking with Karl makes my brain feel like it’s in the gym pumping iron. I love it. When in Thailand, many deep discussions happen around tables just like the one pictured above. Today’s topic: the theology of development. What does that mean exactly? Many things i suppose. The idea is that development is anything that improves or adds to a society or culture. We were discussing that from a Christian perspective; there must be a theology behind our development. Let’s not dive too deep here. It’ll suffice to say that if you have any inklings toward community development, culture-making, dignity for the poor, or redemptive work then you would have wanted to be sitting on the other end of that table. Thanks Karl. My mind feels refreshed again today!
