Dear Effie,

Humility... I've never seen it lived out. The Orthodox Church has. And they know what it looks like. So they can emulate it. There's the entire Gospel for you.

IN Christ,
Mary.

Thank you, Mary, for your post. It did me good to read it. It is full of love and inspiring things to think about.

Mary, you talk about humility. I was just doing a little research for this post and learnt that the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is considered to be the oldest of all the Eastern christianities. Something I did not know. I had the arrogant assumption that we were "bringing Christianity" to Ethiopians!!!! How nicely God makes us aware of our arrogance.
