Seminar #2!
Greetings from Tuticorin! I am staying at a small hotel that sits between a bird sanctuary, salt flats, and the Bay of Bengal. Again, it is HOT here, but with the sea so close there is at least a breeze. Salt is a major industry here: sea water is let into rectangles carved into the flats. The water evaporates, and the salt is collected into piles and then bagged.
Traveling Mercies
Seminar ended yesterday afternoon. It is truly a joy to work with brother and sister pastors and share about preaching. I was asked about putting the seminar into the Indian context - a great question. But I think (and I said) the contextualization had to come from them. The more I learn about the wonderful Indian culture, the more I realize how little I know. It would be presumptuous and arrogant for me to make the connections, even as I make every effort to be sensitive. Still, it must have been helpful.
