		<description><![CDATA[by Israel Galindo A colleague invited some of us to a discussion on the phenomenon of BFST orthodoxy. This is the tendency we’ve seen among some “Bowenians” to guard the orthodoxy of the theory.

		<description><![CDATA[I received an emal from a pastor asking about children&#8217;s sermons. He just accepted a call to a church at which he&#8217;ll need to deliver a children&#8217;s sermon as part of the worship service pastoral duties. I think that&#8217;s a great thing. And I appreciate his seeking counsel on how to do it well. Below [...]]]></description>
