" from Ikea for fair trade Discussion towards the founding "

The holiday season is always a bit stressful and often and the flood of emails to answer even more difficult. But sometimes life is so right in a small hidden pearl, an encouragement, so it happened to me with the following mail (which I may publish with permission) that some Efforts and hopes are not awarded. Thank you.

Dear Tobias Faix,

I have read your e-mail address of your blog. My name is Andrew and I am also a Christian. A year ago I had "Would Jesus shop at Ikea?" With my home group and read your book alongside a lively discussion your book has caused something else: I founded a company for fair trade home furnishings! No kidding, your book was one of the main factors for establishing a business.)

The company is called "Caleb's Hill" and you can look at www.calebshill.de that we have some things differently than any other textile companies make on the market:

1) organic cotton
The cotton comes to our products from 100% certified organic farming and even the color is as carefully made so that the fabric very skin and allergy friendly. It is used almost no chemistry in cotton farming and processing.

2) Fair Trade
Our products carry the official Fairtrade mark, which I must tell you probably not much.)

3) Our 1to1 promise
We put it all on the cake, by each product sold a suffering people give an equivalent product. How exactly it works, you can go to www.calebshill.de read.

4) The 1to1 number
We strive to be as transparent as possible. Therefore, every product has a so-called 1to1 number on the washing label. When the customer enters the number on our web site, he can track where the product was produced and what relief he 1to1 support them by buying. Since we are just getting started, but we have not yet carried out relief operation (which will change soon!).


Greetings from the icy Brunswick!

" What is the core of the Gospel? "

This afternoon I read an interesting report on an unloaded evangelists. He has been preaching at a crusade week, the court of God, which for some listeners and the local press did not arrive well. They have accused him of spiritual pressure and manipulation. In an interview, the evangelist has given its opinion and that I was now the exciting, because the Evangelist defended his actions by saying that the court of God belongs to the core of the Christian message and if you leave out that one can immediately stop all evangelize.
The question of the "core of the gospel" seems appropriate here yet. What is the Gospel to unconditional? What people have to know to get an idea of God? And as with any communication that statement is indeed a matter of communication on their own image of God. Both are an important issue, reflect on their faith, especially when it comes to the issue of contextualization. Reflecting the Gospel in different ways in different cultures? What part of "my" Gospel? What is it, "public good"?

" contextualization from a South African perspective "



The last days, Prof. Nico Botha of the University of South Africa (UNISA) at our Bible seminary and spoke about contextualization. Contextualization is his opinion on one side from the beginning laid the Bible (in the meaning of each context) and is on the other hand, a relatively new hermeneutic method (contextualization), which since the 1970s in various theological designs reflect (liberation theology, Feminist Theology, Black Theology, etc.). Prof Botha SO works out different levels, to an understanding contextualization of importance are: •
contextualization helps reflect my own beliefs and understand my own biography.
• contextualization we find on every page of the Bible.
• Contextualization means that faith and theology is an integral part of the community, the community and society.
• contextualization is, the prophetic voice of God to be in the midst of society.
• contextualization is a hermeneutical method that has prevailed in the last decades.
A key concept here is inculturation. Inculturation means no more connecting factors of the Gospel to the culture, but speak of a constant interaction between the two. This is also reflected in translations of the Bible clearly. Language as cultural links the gospel with the culture on an intimate way. Another example was the South African Ubunto as a social concept (I am because you are). Then there was a fascinating discussion, which means contextualization in the German context and for our theology.

a winter spells ...





The weather today was just a dream and I had a few days vacation, I was with the dogs, the sun's rays at - 8 ° C enjoy and relax here ...
And in the garden, in the canteen bird, since there are days it is a colorful ...:-)


the sky from a
quite clear, cool blue.
The roofs white sugared
- Oh! What a wonderful show!

the breath at the mouth
like white clouds and snow is
in the wind swirls
blows over the earth.

The mood changes as a
steel sun breaks through the trees.
He is so bright and warm,
enchanted the world with his light.

I wish you a great second Advent and send to LG All - Rita
