The Church in Africa
 

"Amid the seemingly endless shacks and open sewers on haphazard Llesanmi Street, one lovely place stood out: a gated, cream-colored compound with a steepled church. Inside the spotless chapel, about 170 people sat in neat rows under whirring ceiling fans as an organist played quiet hymns. Almost every worshiper was black, and every male worshiper wore a white shirt and tie."

What mullahs, all of them.

I wish I could have spent my entire mission teaching Africans instead of just a couple of months.

thanks for posting the link, Lingo. I'm not as familiar with Nigeria but Ghanaian members are extremely diligent.

They are humble people, the Africans.

I liked this quote and observation:

Nigerians are great too. Ever had foo foo with peanut soup? MMMMmmmmm.

she's not using "cult" pejoratively.

foo foo is not may favorite and Nigerians eat the heads of the fish as well. It can be quite spicey.

I love fufu never had peanut soup.

You scoop the fufu with your fingers and dip it into the peanut soup (which has spicy pepe (sp?) peppers in it, often also with chicken).

maybe it WAS peanut soup. the dip is communal, right?
