[Magdalen] 224th Convention of The Episcopal Church in SC

[Lynn Ronkainen]

from article: +Tengatenga said a certain post-colonial arrogance in the West 
has run up against a newfound confidence and autonomy in Africa, the Middle 
East and other parts of what in religious circles is called "the Global 
South," and this has exacerbated political, social and theological 
differences.


Very well said and all of article is  very good, IMO.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."

Thomas Merton writes, “People may spend their whole lives climbing the 
ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is 
leaning against the wrong wall.”
