Life of Faith 2023/04

Audio version of the only Czech interdenominational Christian monthly. Read by Kateřina Hodecová and Daniel Zeman. Recorded in the studio of Radio 7. From the content of the issue: * Glenn Machlan: Among the skull hunters, revenge was a sign of masculinity When Glenn Machlan came to the Philippines in the 1990s, he saw how the belief in evil spirits and the law of blood revenge affected the lives of the locals. In the interview, he talks about the translation of the Bible into the indigenous Minangali language and how the translated Scriptures broke the power of the shamans. * theme: Dinner with Jesus Isn't it strange to celebrate the brutal death of an innocent man on a cross long ago? What matters in the Lord's Supper, and what can be changed? Can it be celebrated with coconut milk and banana? What does it mean to "drink the blood of Christ" or "receive unworthily"? How is Christ present in the Lord's Supper? Pavel Černý, Dave Patty, Bohuslav Wojnar, Tomáš Dittrich and Lubomír Ondráček reflect on these questions. + cartoon joke by Paul Bosman + Outpouring of the Spirit at Asbury University - God's dealings among American students (A.
