Hi Iain and Others ... [Shaun] Most of what follows probably applies to other countries, but please allow me to express something about South Africa that is...
Thank you for that Shauwn I could have looked up up an online Bible, but I have been a bit busy! BTW, I use the NRSV as it is about the most literal English...

Dear Darryl I am sure Kwame can do a much better job than me, but I do need the practice ;-) ... If the church regards God's Word, or part thereof, as outdated...

Dear Hamilton I am not sure what country you are from, but the law of the land in most true democracies countries does NOT say that. To the best of my...
Ridiculous DNA for African Americans This treatise is in reaction to all Dark Skinned Americans tracing their roots from Africa and finding out that they have...
