Reading a book called, The Sacrifice of Africa, by Emmanuel Katongole. One word-- Excellent. (Review to come)
I'm mulling over a central theme of his-- the imagination. As he addresses the weaknesses, in particular, of the social and political imagination of Africa, I noticed that my imagination for the celebration of Pentecost is so wrapped in the images of the church receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, that I'm not sure I have left space to imagine new ways that the Spirit reveals himself and inhabits the world around me.
A helpful way Katongole addresses this in his book is to provide stories of how he's seen successful re-imagining. Perhaps the comments section will provide space to explore some stories.
Regardless, may your day and mine be filled with the Spirit, and an imagination open to seeing him at work in preparation for the celebration of Pentecost this week.
