It's Wednesday, July 5th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark How Pakistani Muslims blocked church construction Police in Pakistan charged a Christian with blasphemy against Islam last Friday. The day before, Haroon Shahzad had posted 1 Corinthians 10:18-21 on Facebook. Verse 20 says, “What pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.” Muslims in the area were about to hold a festival that involved a sacrifice. Morning Star News reports that the Muslim blasphemy charge against Shahzad stemmed from personal grudges. The government had allotted his family a valuable piece of land for constructing a church building. Local Muslims had been trying to keep Christians from doing so. And the blasphemy charge was the latest attempt. Ireland's march for life On Saturday, over 10,000 people joined the march for life in Ireland. New data from the Irish health minister, Stephen Donnelly, revealed that abortion in the country increased by 27% in 2022 to 8,500 abortions. Pro-lifers are protesting new legislation that would allow the murder of unborn babies for any reason up to six months of pregnancy. Lawmakers may also end conscience protections for doctors who refuse to perform abortions. Supreme Court affirms Christian web designer's religious liberty On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling in a religious liberty case. Lorie Smith, a Christian web designer, challenged a Colorado anti-discrimination law. The legislation would have required her to make websites for faux homosexual weddings. The high court ruled 6-3 in favor of Smith. The majority ruling stated, “No public accommodations law is immune from the demands of the Constitution.” Alliance Defending Freedom noted, “The U.S. Supreme Court rightly reaffirmed that the government can't force Americans to say things they don't believe. The court reiterated that it's unconstitutional for the state to eliminate from the public square ideas it dislikes, including the belief that marriage is the union of husband and wife.” 6,000 Methodist churches abandon denomination Last week, the number of churches leaving the United Methodist Church surpassed 6,000. Since 2019, 6,182 churches have disaffiliated from the mainline denomination. The departures have occurred as the United Methodist Church has divided over the issue of homosexuality. Many departing congregations do not support sexually perverted lifestyles. Over 4,000 of the disaffiliations occurred this year alone. American dream means home ownership GoDaddy surveyed over 1,000 small businesses on the latest perceptions of the American Dream. For a long time, the American Dream has been associated with financial success. However, a minority of respondents identified owning a home or being your own boss with the American Dream. People were more likely to define the dream as living comfortably or feeling happy in life. Fara Howard with GoDaddy said, “American small-business owners are thinking beyond revenue and sales growth when they consider what the American Dream means to them. Today, it's more about feeling a sense of belonging, freedom, happiness and work-life balance.” 1 Timothy 6:6-8 says, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Arizona, Indiana, and Minnesota And finally, the emails from Worldview listeners just started arriving yesterday, sharing what they appreciate about our unique Christian newscast. Sherri Taylor Magana in Somerton, Arizona wrote, “The Worldview is very important to me. I read information not found or heard on other news media. Adam provides a service to Christians that benefits us. Lord, thank you for providing the funds for the newscast to continue. In Jesus' name, Amen.” James Minter in Depauw, Indiana wrote, “I listen to The Worldview each weekday and find it very informative. I have told many people about it. Several of them have subscribed. Thank you for all you do.” And Addison Randazzo, age 18, who lives in Alexandria, Minnesota, wrote, “I have been listening to The Worldview for several years now, and always look forward to getting the daily email. I take in a lot of media daily. That's why starting my day with your Christian newscast from a Biblical worldview is extremely meaningful. I especially enjoy the fact that you share stories of persecuted Christians which I do not see elsewhere.” Take a moment and email me what you appreciate in a 2-6 sentence email to Adam@TheWorldview.com. Please include your full name, city and state, or country if outside the U.S. 8 Worldview listeners gave $840.50 toward $20,000 Friday goal Toward our immediate $20,000 goal by this Friday, July 7th, eight Worldview listeners made donations. We appreciate the help of Genevieve in Wheat Ridge, Colorado who gave $5.50, Patricia in Elkton, Florida who gave $10, and Kimberly in Beech Grove, Indiana who gave $25. And we're grateful to God for the help of Laurel in Buckley, Washington who gave $50, Lisa in Eden Prairie, Minnesota who gave $100, Danielle in Brighton, Colorado who gave $150, Ingrid in San Antonio, Texas who gave $200, and James in Kennewick, Washington who gave $300. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of, drum roll please, (audio of drum roll) $840.50! (audio of crowd cheering) That means we still need to raise $19,159.50 by this Friday. I wonder if there might be 5 listeners who could jump in during this first week with a gift of $100 per month for 12 months or a one-time gift of $1,200. That would mean we would still need to find 11 listeners to pledge $50/month for 12 months. And another 22 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months.

Sam Sethi talks with James Minter about the story of his club, Adam Street in London which not been told.James is as self-effacing as he is charming, recounting with warmth the role it played in the dotcom boom.“Adam Street was absolutely amazing,” he recalls. “It was a first, unique, and I met the most wonderful bunch of people there. No one has ever directly copied it.”Now sadly defunct, the venue off The Strand – with its bar, restaurant, library, gallery, and event space – became the go-to place for London’s tech entrepreneurs as they rallied after the bubble burst.Originally established as serviced offices by James after a career in the navy, Adam Street became a magnet for dotcom start-ups with few assets and little capital. The club itself opened in 2001 in an old watering hole for actors propping up the building.What would become the first entrepreneurs’ club in London was seeded when James noted the then itinerant nature of Julie Meyer’s First Tuesday networking club.“Back in those days it was still the case that if you went into a club you weren’t allowed to talk about business – it was not done and was meant to be a subtle under-the-radar thing,” he explains. “So I thought you have got all these people together, First Tuesday moving from venue to venue, why isn’t there a fixed place where entrepreneurs hang out?”These were the heady days of a gold rush.Nonetheless, like all roller-coaster rides, the dotcom era was marked as much by the founding as by the spectacular failure of new internet-based companies, with the Lastminute.com IPO in 2000 signalling the bursting of the bubble.“By the time we opened the club in 2001 it wasn’t such an auspicious time. It wasn’t really until 2003 that we got up to about 1,000 members, but by then a number of characters had helped gather together the bomb-burst and we had a whole layer of true entrepreneurs who came back together after the dotcom highs and lows to rebuild the tech community.”These included such characters as Michael Acton Smith, creator of Moshi Monsters; Mike Butcher of TechCrunch, who introduced James to the term “podcast”; and Richard Duvall, the man behind the first internet bank, Egg, and co-founder of peer-to-peer pioneer Zopa.The key to the club’s success was ambience shaped by an enthusiastic staff helping to select the right members in a niche that morphed from a shared workspace during the day into a nightclub for hothousing ideas at night.“There was no music during the day, but at about 5.30 we put on a little bit – and by 10.30 people were dancing on the tables. I also like to think that we introduced the espresso martini into the London cocktail scene!”Adam Street’s glory days lasted until 2008, but faded amid the global financial meltdown and the migration of tech entrepreneurs to Silicon Roundabout in East London. At that time James also had music on the mind, reopening Notting Hill’s famous Tabernacle.Although it played host to battalions of iconic digital pioneers, James believes Adam Street was not just about tech – but primarily about entrepreneurship and making connections, a skill he has taken to the digital leadership experts Hannington Tame.

The Great Maritini has been named a great book that teaches kids kindness. Get your copy today at Amazon Our guest today is author James Minter. James is a dad to two grown-up children, and a step father to three more. His fiction writing career started some five years ago with books designed to appeal to the inner child in all of us - very English humour. Later his daughter Louise reminded him of the bedtime stories he told her and suggested he might like to commit them to paper for others to enjoy. He hasn't yet but instead embarked on writing the eight-book Billy Grows Up series for 7 to 9-year-old children. These are traditional stories, but with value based plots. Although the main character Billy and his friends are fictitious, Billy's dog, Jacko, is based on his family's much-loved pet, which, with their second dog Malibu, caused havoc and mayhem to the delight of his children and consternation of himself.
