I spat my coffee out when that 'pastor' said: "I wanna see them radically laying down their lives for the gospel, as they are over in Pakistan, Israel and Palestine.."
I loved how the guy reckons this kind of thing will make them good adults who enter into mature dialogue with people who disagree with them. I've NEVER met an evangelical who will even ALLOW you to disagree with them, let alone enter into mature dialogue!
So many more comments... but I'll leave it at that.
Tales from a self-proclaimed Aussie Nomad in Shanghai.
It took me all of my first 20 years to leave Australia, finally ending up in Dili, East Timor in 2000. Since then I haven't wanted to stop traveling. Yet, as simply holidaying doesn't quite scratch the travel-bug's itch, I much prefer to live, work and play in the countries I visit. In my opinion, as insane as it can make you at times, cultural immersion is much more fulfilling than a postcard holiday.
Now I am living in Shanghai, with my better half, Philippe, and 20 million others. An artist, teacher and nomad, I embarked on this latest journey in August 2005.
And like the best journeys, its final destination is a mystery.
