Online journals knowns as weblogs — or 'blogs' — offer the chance for anyone to post their thoughts, photos, links to interesting web-pages on a variety of different topics. GlobalChristian has recruited some friends who think hard about Jesus and the world and can write well to blog on several topics. We hope that you will enjoy what they have to say. If you're interested in blogging, please contact as at
Global Colonnade — Global. Christian. Thinking.
"…and all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade" (Acts 5:12). Located on the east side of the Court of Gentiles, this colonnade was the place where the first century church met to talk about the key issues of the day. Globalcolonnade.org provides the same forum, a place where the twenty-first century church can question, challenge, wrestle, and engage the complex issues of today's world.

Speaking at the Council for Europe on October 9, the president of Turkey, Abdullah Gul, called for changes to a law on "insulting Turkishness" that has damaged Turkey's bid to join the European Union. Known as "Article 301," the law has been used to persecute writers, journalists, scholars, and religious minorities. For example, as reported by Compass Direct, two Turkish converts to Christianity, Hakan Tastan and Turan Topal, are currently on trial for "insulting Turkishness." Others accused under the law have included Turkish Armenian editor Hrant Dink (who in January was murdered by an ultra-nationalist because of his views on the deaths of Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks in 1915), and the Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk. Please pray that president Gul's acknowledgement of the need for change in the law helps move Turkey towards full embrace of religious freedom and human rights. Read more »
