The Karch family recently moved their blog – check out Movemment Quebec for the brand new format.

I’m actually mentioning it because I enjoyed their recent post, Don’t Reduce It To Polemics!.  It’s a great summary of thoughts on sharing, evangelism, "felt needs", etc, particularly in the context of Quebec, Canada.  Here’s how it starts:

Last week I had a fascinating discussion concerning "evangelism" with a group of pastors.

A few undigested thoughts:

First of all, (and this may be the most controversial) it seems that we need to take care in using the term "evangelism". I prefer something else; like maybe "being a witness".

Why? "Evangelism," at least in my experience with many, many churches, automatically connotes some sort of argument…

What do you think?  Stop by the post and share your thoughts.
