A great day in Parliament

It was a great honour and joy to be in the South African parliament today. There were many business and government leaders who shared the common vision of working together to create ways to bring about God's healing and transformation by creating strategic alliances for minstry in Churches and the 'marketplace'.

I am encouraged that there are people from various political parties, church groupings, and businesses who have the courage to work together to address the needs of our community, as God would have us do it.

For many years I have been so caught up in the 'work of the Church', forgetting that the Church is in fact present through its members throughout society - that is where (and how) ministry takes place.

Anyway, here's a picture of me in the 'old' chambers of parliament. We weren't allowed to take photos in the new parliamentary chamber.
