I’m sorry there hasn’t been much posted here, recently.  But, the fact of the matter is that this next week will prove to be the most important, anyway.

We’ve been dealing with a very sick mother, who is now in our care here in London, in the midst of some fairly significant adversity within our family, so please don’t think we don’t care.  We really do.  It’s just been a real rough few weeks.

Anyway, enough whining.

Davis Mac-Iyalla, an Anglican from Nigeria who is gay (and who we have written about in the past) has been up to no good.  I write this not to gloat about being right as rain, but to expose (with all thanks to our very good friends at SF) this man for what he is.

We ought not, though, to rejoice in this revelation, but to pray fervently and often for folks like Davis.  He is obviously a deeply troubled person in need of our care and provision.

Thankfully, Griffith (pbuh), has the class and wisdom to call for the same thing.

Anyway, we’ll be here, in the midst of our own problems, covering Lambeth as much as we can.
