In fact, Krish somehow currently manages to personally straddle the growing gulf emerging in UK evangelicalism. For example, he was I think, the only person who spoke last year at both New Word Alive<\/span> and Spring Harvest<\/span> and he didn\u2019t get thrown out of either!<\/p>\n

If Krish is reading this, he may by now be worried. He need not be as I do not believe in making the contents of private conversations public. Suffice it to say that we agreed on many things and disagreed firmly but respectfully on just a few.<\/p>\n

Krish has an engaging warm personality and his passion for Jesus shines. In his attempts to foster dialogue and understanding between very different wings of the church at this time I do not envy him. I am not sure that it is even possible.<\/p>\n

Krish is active in a number of iniatives. These include, his blog<\/a>, the Slipstream network<\/a> aimed at encouraging emerging leaders, the Square Mile<\/a>, and a four-pronged plan to increase biblical literarcy called Bible Fresh<\/a>. He has also invited me to be one of the speakers at DigiMission<\/a> which takes place on 1st December. I can only be there virtually, but it looks like an interesting event.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
