I'm the minister of an Anglican church in Sydney, Australia. The internet is destroying the tyranny of distance we can feel here. Now everyone is glocal. I've got your blog on my google reader list and ideas are shared that wouldn't have been before. New relationships and influence come that have no respect for ecclesiastical or geographical borders. We're going back to Babel!

Sydney has a large growing immigrant muslim population. They suffer terrible racism and there is plenty of fear about 'muslims taking over'. I've heard the populate or perish stuff used here too, sadly sometimes from the church.
A lot of the immigrants are actually fleeing muslim extremism. Many of them are as secular as nominal Christians and think western=Christian. Their monotheism, love of family, sexual ethics, hospitatity may actually mean Christians have a lot more common ground with them than the secular post christian polytheistic sydneysiders. Some muslims are becoming Christians as Christians go countercultural - love them, spend time with them, open the bible with them, pray for them, and tell them about Jesus.
If hokey videos like this were around at Pentecost there'd be no mission to judeans, samaritans, gentiles - just a massive attempt by 3000 to outbreed the world.
