On the day that the world reckoned the seven billionth person was born I was visiting the slums of Kibera, a large sprawling so called ”˜informal settlement’ close to the centre of Nairobi. Seeing the church’s presence in this place was humbling and inspiring. Meanwhile across Europe politicians gathered to throw the dice again, and try and find a way out of the spiralling economic whirlpool that is dragging the whole continent down, and is being measured by growing unemployment, disillusion and a vast and growing gulf between rich and poor.
I was impressed by this address!
