- Died: C. René Padilla, Father of Integral Mission. I first came across Padilla when I worked for Tearfund & he was one of their presidents.

Sexuality 3.0 – more freedom, less licence: “This present moment is not one of unrestrained freedom to enjoy whatever you want with whoever you want however you want (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone) because people are increasingly aware that this usually results in someone being hurt.”
Have a great week.
