"If you justify violence for any reason, no matter how good and noble, you legitimize it for every reason, no matter how wrong and unworthy." — Bishop Peter Storey, South Africa
I haven't been posting any of my own thoughts lately because I am just emerging from the whirlwind of moving into and setting up my apartment, and classes started for me yesterday. I hope to begin posting again within the next few days; being back at school has already raised a host of questions that I need to hash out for my own benefit and which I think might be of interest to a broader audience. Many thanks to everyone who's been reading my first few posts and who have encouraged me thus far!

I left SA back in late 1970 after being there since 1968. My SA wife would leave her family or come with me back to the states and my daughter now 40 will not speak to me because she thinks I abandoned her, when I could not live with Apartheid. Your voice was just beginning to heard then. I commend you and others like you for doing God's work. I am a US citizen that did not stay to right the wrong of Apartheid. It was a difficult time for me and my SA family now sadly changed. SA is now as it should have been all along. I pray and hope you and the people Peace and happiness in your future. I know God is smiling on his children and holding them in his hand.
