Was at the pub with some friends last night. I mentioned that I was a missionary kid in Papua New Guinea from the ages of 9 to 14. One of the guys said, with much pathos and sarcasm, “that doesn’t sound traumatic at all.” For the first time in 30 years, someone recognised it

@RevKevDeYoung You and I share a phd supervisor. This piece is a “man of his times” argument, that centres a powerful white man and dismisses the impact of his views and actions on the enslaved. Why are you more generous to slave owners than to egalitarians?

A good metric for worship songs is “can my church sing this from their homes?” I hope one of the things that comes from this time is that worship songs start being written from the ground up again, designed for ordinary people to sing, rather than from the top down
