The Hsu’s Views

Fast Company had an interesting article recognizing the urbanization trend of the world and identifying the cities that will actually flourish because they are drawing smart people. These “Fast Cities,” are:

“…cauldrons of creativity where the most important ideas and the organizations of tomorrow are centered. They attract the best and the brightest. The are great places to work and live.”

The cities are listed in categories like Urban innovators, culture centers, startup hubs, and high-tech hot spots. San Diego appears as “on the verge.”

I have had the opportunity to revisit the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelism website. I took another look at the Lausanne Covenant and to my surprise, it is really good.

“Lausanne provides a place for strategic theological discussion on the major issues affecting the Body of Christ and global evangelization. Since 1974, leaders have come together under The Lausanne Covenant to debate and discussion issues ranging from ministering to specific ethnic groups to evangelism and social responsibility.”

The Lausanne Commitee has also produced more than 30 Occasional Papers. These include titles like:

- Toward the Transformation of our Cities/Regions
- Marketplace Ministry
- Globalization and the Gospel: Rethinking Mission in the Contemporary World
