Syd Bill commented on John Woodhouse's blog post Pope Francis I"A Common Word Between Us and You was first circulated circa 2009 and updated 2012

Syd Bill commented on Syd Bill's blog post World Council of Churches "The Church Towards a Common Vision""Thank you John and I too am trying to work this one out:
First, what is really meant by salvation?
Is it about life after death or is it about life here and now?
I am reading some books by Karen Armstrong which tell me about ideas/beliefs of others…"
John Woodhouse commented on Syd Bill's blog post World Council of Churches "The Church Towards a Common Vision""One of the areas I have been studying is salvation outside the church. Will be interested to hear your conclusions,"
Syd Bill commented on Syd Bill's blog post World Council of Churches "The Church Towards a Common Vision""Dear John (you work late)
Thanks for your request; I am not too sure whether you meant my point was "hardly helpful" or the poiints to
