Prayer Diary

Coming to England required finding a place to belong and getting to grips with cultural differences in the church. Blessing has found the African philosophy of “ubuntu” and its relationship to our Christian witness helpful. “Ubuntu” is an ethic that gives high regard to the relationship between the collective and the individual. The individual exists in the context of the collective.

Blessing says, “I may not understand everyone’s language nor have a palate for your foods, but I do know when I’m truly loved. As we journey together on the basis of a love hewn in Christ for the other, then the rest will naturally fall in place. Finding home for ‘communities of difference’ often has to do with finding communities where the Love of Christ is tangibly discerned.”
