Excuses

These last few weeks have been busy, and I’ve not been able to write as much as I’d have liked. The worst is over now, and I am hoping to begin posting a bit more. I don’t know how some people manage to write so much, so well, every day. I conclude that either they must be much cleverer than me, or they can’t have much of a life outside of blogging!

One of the things that I have been involved in over the last weeks has been a bit of teaching with my mate Dave, over at CYM in Bristol. This is training youth workers, and we got asked to help out with the bit on work in the multi-cultural context. The students were an animated and friendly bunch, and – after my own initial nervousness – I grew to enjoy time with them. It did serve to highlight how far culture in the UK has changed since I have been in Burkina. So I learned a lot myself – having to learn a bit of the language about chavs, townies, skaters et al. The cultural and spiritual principles of mission work are of course hugely relevant as we think about how to reach this generation. I hope to write more on this, and on the relationship of gospel and church to culture soon.
