I'm missing Oleg. I'll see if I can get a picture of him tomorrow.

This morning over breakfast I had a conversation with a student from Tehran, Iran. This is his second class here. From our conversation I found out that he is the lead pastor of a church right in the city. I’m thinking it is probably a registered church because he does meet in a building. He also talked a little about the underground church in Iran.

I really would like to talk with him some more, I have a lot of questions. When a Muslim becomes a Christian should they discard all their Muslim heritages? Can they keep some and discard others? Can they be a Muslim in culture (if there is such a thing) and still be a Christian? And it’s all because of this class called Perspectives!!!!
