Back from Africa – 5 quick updates
Grace and I are back home from our amazing trip with amahoro-africa.org – I’ll post more on the trip later, but for a preview, see #3 below …
Some quick updates:
1. Have you heard about Envision 08: The Gospel, Politics, and The Future? It’s happening at Princeton University June 8-10. I’ll be participating, as will a number of good friends. Good news! Because of some generous donors, the conference is now being offered for only $99. And if you’re coming from out of town, you can get on-campus housing for three nights at a sharply discounted rate. I hope you’ll go to www.ev08.org and sign up today …
2. Want to make a difference for the environment? Our friends at ECI have created a convenient way to support an important upcoming vote in Congress. Check it out here.
3. My friend Tim Keel blogged our amahoro-africa.org gathering last week. You can read his postings here and get a flavor for the time we shared in Kigali.
4. Someone recently sent this provocative quote from Buckminster Fuller: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change things build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
5. My friend Byron Borger, the wisest bookseller in the nation, offered some kind words about Finding Our Way Again here.
A cry from the heart for compassion, justice, peace, and equality in Gaza and Israel
June 23, 2025
"It is clear that the killing of over 1200 Israelis on October 7th of 2023 was unacceptable. But the killing of Palestinians after that
in the tens of thousands including women and children is not acceptable."
