CT has kept me in touch with the larger evangelical family, and I never had to worry that it had drifted away from orthodox Christian doctrines. The family is now global, and CT consistently reports on what is happening around the world. Of course, no one can keep up with all that, but without CT, we would be much less aware of what Christ is doing globally. With its finger on the pulse of the global Church, CT is positioned well to help us find more clarity. I thank God the magazine is in the body of Christ.

In my many contacts with church leaders around the world, I was amazed at how many were familiar with CT, and appreciated that CT led the conversation in many of the theological and cultural issues facing the church today.

My dream would be that CT Global could find an effective way to encourage dialogue and mutual learning between Christian leaders from America and other parts of the world. We have as much to learn from the global church as it has to learn from us.

What I really find provocative and interesting is the global reach of authors found in every issue of CT. The authors of three recent articles I found moving are authored by a woman living in Burundi, an Australian evangelist, and a corporate executive from Colorado. Where else do we have opportunity to hear from such a broad range of solidly Christian thinkers?
