Dooley

Indonesia defeated Bangladesh 9-2 in a FIFA ASEAN Cup match, prompting discussion in both countries. Coach John Herdman fielded a strong squad and dedicated the win to the Kanjuruhan disaster victims. Bangladesh, despite the heavy loss, refused to give up and turned to Emon ahead of facing Indonesia again. Coach Dooley also pointed to the difference in football leagues between the two nations.

Dooley, a Baptist leader writing in The Christian Index, argues that the Church cannot simply be 'downloaded' — faith and Christian community cannot be fully replaced by digital tools or online worship. The piece makes the case for embodied, in-person church life at a time when streaming services and virtual congregations remain widespread after the pandemic era.
