I'm sitting or, when you think about it, slouching to be honest in a seat outside a library room next to an old window with some plants on the ledge. So, my purpose is not only studying but feeding plants, which still need water, with carbon dioxide and enjoying a cloudy view of the back yard of Redcliffe College. The books are scrambled around me and I pick one up and might put it right back down to pick up another as thoughts pressure me. For me, I want to study and grasp the material though my concentration is lacking. Questions are coming out onto the paper and hopefully a dissertion title will come out it all. For my dissertation, it suits me to do something on Muslims. Thoughts and reading about Muslims have been increasing since my involvement with them in Belfast. The first important book would be The Cross and the Crescent by Colin Chapan. And to be clear, I have been in connection with them before Belfast though more so now. There population is similiar to the Christian demographics. So, as I come into contact more often, I am going to spend more time about them for my dissertation. In fact, I might specifically look at the Sufis since they strive to be closer to God that the more traditional Muslim. This being said, it is important to know that Sufis affect more that 70% of all Muslims. Sufis are described as being the charistimatic of the Muslim world. Though, all this work needs guidance in filling the need of an applied theology degree and the mission God is leading my wife and I to after finishing here at Redcliffe college. Its just some thoughts and feel free to enter your own.
