Arthur's blog

Arthur Stewart is processing through Amahoro at http://www.stewart5.net/. He visited Rwanda in 1995 but had a very different experience this time around. He writes, "My time back in Rwanda (and the Amahoro conference in Uganda) were shaping beyond what I can put into words at this point. My heart and mind are again undone, in the best of ways. I believe this will be one of those moments in my life I will look back on as a major turning point. I hope to share the resulting journey through this website in the upcoming weeks."

Brian's reflections on Amahoro are at http://www.brianmclaren.net/archives/2007/05/reflections_on_amahoroafrica_may_2007_415.html

"Back in Uganda, a young woman talks with me. She too has been to college, and she too loves God but is seeking for an understanding of the gospel and church that makes more sense in today’s Africa. “Do you really have hope that the church can change?” she asks. “Yes,” I tell her, and recount stories of churches that are living out a transformational, incarnational, integral gospel around the world. She doesn’t smile. She’s seen too many religious promises and too much religious hype and experienced too much disillusionment. She’ll wait and see if anything comes of our conference.

Something will come. I could feel it as we sang and danced together with joy before God. The resilience of Africans is a sign of resurrection, a joy that moves the feet and a faith that can move mountains. The air vibrates with it, hums with it, like the cloud of dragonflies that hover around us as we walk together on red African soil. "
