SUMMARY:Let's Talk About It: On-line Zoom Conversation Group
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us to chew over articles in the January issue of Christian Courier! There are lots of interesting articles\, but we thought we’d focus on two topics: the feature story on the “Modesty Manifesto” and the reflections on CRC developments in 2025 (an article by Henry DeJong and an opinion piece by former Banner editor Shiao Chong.) We are hoping that Chong and some of the CC editors will join us! \nFor Christian Courier online\, go to: https://www.christiancourier.ca \nIt’s great to read Christian Courier online\, but we also recommend it as a physical paper you can hold in your hands. Consider subscribing to Christian Courier today! If your church is interested in having paper copies\, please reach out here.  \n  \nFor more info & a Zoom link\, contact: nvlettinga@yahoo.ca \nFacilitators: Neil & Virginia Lettinga
