Sunday Sunday: Ndi Uka


A congregation in search of a temple - give generously


Sunday not quite best:

Afrovangelism cannot be addressed by pictures alone - they might give an impressionistic rendering; the riot of colour and sheer mass of bodies - but they CANNOT. Even film can barely communicate the sheer human impact of a crowd contorted in immense hope, feeling and desperation. Fervent, devout, desperate and angry prayer. Non of that genteel quiet storm. Awe inspiring and slightly disturbing. But as long as it remains a force for good in the real world...

It seems churlish to attack those without response but this choir failed to stir my atheist soul
