How the Majority World Is Reshaping Christianity A few years ago, I sat in a church hall in a country town in New South Wales while someone I’ll call Val counted the heads in the room. Val got to nineteen, then told me, with no bitterness at all, that when Val was a...
A couple of months ago, my little family traveled to Palawan in the Philippines to celebrate my daughter Sophia’s first birthday. It was a lovely time of love, laughter, and great food: three things my Filipino family and friends do so well. But, as usual, I was...
There’s a tiredness that sleep doesn’t reach. You wake, and before your eyes are fully open the weight is already there, resting on your chest like something with actual mass. The day hasn’t begun and you’re behind it. You get up anyway. You make the coffee, answer...
