When you go to churches in certain parts of the world you are required to leave your shoes at the door - because that is the culture, and a mark of respect.
There are other churches that you may sometimes go to where you are required to leave your brain at the door. At least that is the way it may seem. Contexts where we are not encouraged to think, and ask questions - instead we are supposed to accept what we are told and to have faith. Situations where the intellectual world of science or medicine, or the world of culture are kept at arms length and often seen as the enemy.
But, if you're looking for something to stretch your mind and get you thinking you may be interested in BMS World Mission's Catalyst Live events in November. Tickets are going fast so order soon.
