Hi,

1) Where I think we need to carve out some territory of definition in practice is to say that proselytism is relating to people different from oneself by using means and methods with ulterior motives in order to convert. But what's happening in secular literature is that it is moving even beyond the ulterior method definition, where some secular specialists on human rights and international law use proselytism to mean "any attempt by religious believers to win converts from other religions or from your religion." And when we see proselytism move into that extensive and broad an expression, it then curtails on the invitation to witness and to make meaning for people, in terms of engaging them around the validity of Christian perspective.

Can an be deleted? No. Kindly check punctuation usage in the above passage and insert punctuation where needed. You might consider not starting sebnetenes with 'But' and 'And'. Could you perhaps say 'However' and 'Moreover'?

(2) They have a vision for what I would call “soul care,” without the same vision and commitment to social care. May I suggest to us that mature evangelists have discerning minds that believe in the whole counsel of God? May I suggest to us, as you listen to that definition, that evangelists are not restricted to religion?

May I suggest to us, as we think about engagement, can we first of all give permission and take permission. That is to say, people have the right to self-define. I also need to take the responsibility to self-define.

Is the usage " May I suggest to us" ok? Please check It seems a bit oddd to say 'us' here. Why not just say 'May I suggest'?

(3) We have surrendered to life-denying violence that simply incites more deadly and devastating violence.

Is the usage of " We have surrender to" ok? Please check.

(4) Half of them were Muslim and half of them were Christian. This is OK, because the two words are used as adjectives.

Should the above sentence have a plural usage "Half of them were Muslims and half of them were Christians." This is also OK, but the two words are nouns.

(5) We need more modeling of how to deal with diversity in positive ways.

Can of be replaced with on? Please check. Either is acceptable.

(6) One of my appeals in the Canadian context has been that, if we had been better at dealing with diversity between us as Christians in this country, we would be relating to cultural diversity in a lot more positively today than we are at this point.

Is the in insertion ok? Please check. No, you need to remove it.

Best wishes, Clive

I really wonder why the past tenses of joined and united are used here. For me, shouldn't they be present or future tenses?

Would some experts shed some light? I'm really confused and don't see the perspective of native speakers.

The sky was becoming dark as John left his house to take an evening walk. He looked up at the gray sky. Then he extended his right palm to see if was raining. He was walking up the street, with his soda, beef jerk and chips. When John finished his chips, he began to eat beef jerks. He chewed it hard. After a while, he went into a bakery store because he wanted to see [or 'liked seeing'] a girl who worked there. The girl beamed happily at him and asked him how he was doing lately. John answered her, smiling back, and ordered a pastry and a cup of lemon tea. As soon as he was about to walk out of the store, the girl went up to him to see if he would like to go to a concert with her on the following Sunday. John said 'yes' as he ate his pastry. He walked across the street while he turned his volume high on his I-pod for his favorite song. There was a little drizzle when he was almost at the supermarket. He went to the store and grabbed the items that his mom wanted him to buy. The cashier knew John because they had a chemistry class together. She talked to John about her birthday party and invited him to come on Sunday. John declined the invitation because he was not free. After a few minutes, John went past [or 'John passed'] the [?hard]ware store. Then he heard something from behind. He thought it was a dog barking so he turned his head back. Actually the hardware store was closing its gate. When [or, 'By the time'] he was about three blocks away from his cozy home, the rain was pounding down in the street. He was running and cursing himself for not bringing his umbrella. He looked all over the street to find shelter, but there was none. He was drenched all over. Also, the gusty wind had made him cold. John kept running until he arrived home. When he took his clothes off, rainwater dribbled on the floor.

I could read only a few lines, but i think it should be: Then he extended his right palm to see if it was raining. You should also try to improve your punctuation.

Just my two cents though.

wedding invitation

Anonymous — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 20:52:39 GMT

I am preparing a wedding invitation and want the wording, punctuation, grammar, etc. to be correct. Can you tell me the proper English for this:

"as they enter into their new LIVES together"

"as they enter into their new LIFE together"

I know the answer but want sufficient evidence to convince my niece that "LIVES" would be correct. Thanks

Re: Tips for getting fast and full responses (from me)

Eimai_Anglos — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 14:29:52 GMT

1. Please try to indicate the nature of your request in your subject line. "Help" is not very informative. My eye will just glide further down the page to find someone who's prepared to tell me what he wants.
2. "Please" and "Thank you" are always good incentives for me to help.
3. I'm much more likely to help you if I think you've already worked hard on it. There's no point in telling me you want to know how to write such-and-such a letter. Try doing it yourself first, then I'll help you out.
4. Sentences without capitalisation or punctuation or using "chat" abbreviations are a real turn-off for me.
5. It's very rewarding when people post back their thanks - besides, that way I know you've seen my answer. It doesn't have to be every time, but once in a while is nice.

Thanks, John. I share your thoughts and frustration entirely!

I would add a few more guidelines to yours:

6) Start a new discussion. DON'T tag your question onto an existing (unrelated) discussion.
7) DON'T ask for free software, free books or free lessons.
8) DON'T post your email address and ask for a personal reply.
9) DON'T email or PM your question to other forum users, without invitation.
10) DON'T use "txt-spk".
11) DON'T ask "How can I improve my...?" These questions have already been answered numerous times.
