Praise God for the African church! They’re keeping all denominations’ feet to the scriptural fire, not the least my own United Methodist Church. I love to read these stories.

I was about the say the same thing. I watched General Conference last summer with dread, but the Africans stepped up and held their ground.

When I went to France for a 3 week assignment from my company, I was quite surprised to see several churches in the UK pastored by AFRICAN pastors.

One of them, a Ghanian seminary graduate, told me that they are simply bringing the gospel BACK to England and reminded me that the gospel was brought to them by the English hundreds of years ago, whose descendants have forgotten all about it.

I posted much the same in the thread about the possibility of an African pope. Our UM pastor told us the Africans saved us from the gay lobby.

One reason the African church is thriving while the English church is dying is that the African prelates have superior educations. Unlike liberal preachers, the Africans take their faith seriously.
