A Church Visit in Cape Town

fredag den 17. september 2010

Last Sunday I attended a Sunday service in Rondebosh United Church, a Presbyterian congregation, consisting of members of various denominations as well as agnostics.

The church has an outreach team that goes to the Poolsmore Prison. They teach life skills to young male prisoners waiting for their sentence. They aim at teaching the prisoners to see their own life stories in the light of the grand narrative of Jesus, who can tranform people and society. I will be going with the team out to the prison, and will keep you updated on what I experience there.

The mayor of Cape Town (who is also the national leader of the national opposition party - Democratic Alliance) is member of the church. I got to talk her husband last Sunday. Hopefully I can also meet her there some day. Would be cool.
