African United Methodists Need the General Conference to Take Action | Hearing the Rev. Louis Loma Otshudi's harrowing story initially sounds like a wild piece of fictitious entertainment. Unfortunately, it is not.
At a recent meeting in Kenya, I had the opportunity to hear this Central Congo clergyman narrate his ordeal. In August of this year Otshudi narrowly escaped being thrown into prison. Warned by friends that police could detain him at any moment he realized going to the airport for his flight back home was impossible.
Instead, Otshudi set out on a 2,544 kilometer (1580 mile), seven day journey using all sorts of transport modes: a motor bike, buses, a canoe and walking when necessary. My jaw kept dropping as he told his tale.
However, it was hard to decide what was more amazing: his incredible trek or the reason why he had to flee. | | |
Bob and Stephanie chat with Dr. Ken Collins, Professor of Historical Theology and Wesley Studies at Asbury Seminary, on his new book Jesus the Stranger: The Man from Galilee and the Light of the World. It's a unique look at the life of Jesus through the lens of "otherness" and suffering and offers some real hope and instruction for those who follow Jesus, especially in times when they are seen as "strangers" to the rest of the world. | | New WCA Instagram Account - @wesleyancovenantassociation
