@ChrisHowles So tragic. Maybe you refer to "Conquistadores" by Fernando Cervantes? He asks the question how so few Spanish invaders managed to conquer so much. The answer is unexpected and, as you say, heartbreaking.

@BarclaysUKHelp Waiting for services to resume in order to be able to pay salaries. How can I request a text when you are back up and running? The website asks that I click the service I want to be texted about but nothing happens when I do. Is this functionality still available?

@jay_matenga @jay_matenga your contribution on the idea of mutuality enriches the discussion - thank you!

@ChrisHowles @ChrisHowles thanks for your thoughtful take. My sense is voices from the European diaspora in Latin America may speak differently to voices from the (involuntary) African diaspora & differently again from the voices of indigenous peoples here - like such voices in the US might?

@ptrowan @iamfujimura @OMF_UK @globconnections @allnationsuk Thank you Peter (again!) for drawing my attention to this ... and I absolutely love not only the concept of "deep cultural missionaries" but also the reality being worked out in the lives of Johanna & Estienne!

@ChrisHowles Asia remains neglected by mission movements in other parts of the world...but, fortunately, not by God!

@ptrowan @ChrisHowles To be honest, Padilla, Escobar and Costas might find it necessary to repeat the same message. Certainly, here in Brazil, it feels like imported theologies have crowded out their significant contribution.

@ptrowan @OCMSoxford Thanks for drawing my attention to this presentation. Masterful, incisive, concise, gripping - raising significant concerns about AI while also providing an alternative way forward. Marvellous!

@ptrowan @ConversationUK I didn't realise Itamar Vieira Junior's book Torto Arado or Crooked Plough had been translated into English...I'll be praying he wins 🤣
