		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps you are wondering if I am against this whole 40 Days of Community campaign. Well, if you are wondering whether you should go, my answer is a qualified YES.

		<title>Should We Trust Someone Because They Seem Sincere?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The argument that we can trust a teacher or minister because they seem to be sincere is fatally flawed. Here&#8217;s the problem: does the fact that one is sincere guarantee that what they are saying is the truth? Is it not possible to be sincere and also to be wrong?

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We&#8217;re Connected to Grow Together&#8230;By Confessing to Each other&#8221;
This chapter is very good, so I have nothing to offer other than to add a few comments.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We&#8217;re Connected to Grow Together&#8230;By Giving Preference to Each other&#8221; Â

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, I received an email from Rev. Chris Currey in Ontario on this topic and I thought it was so good and relevant that I got permission from him to post it on my God&#8217;s BMW blog here.
