John did not have e-mail during the week of his conference. Here is the summary he sent. As you can see he is used to being brief!
Mon--the "Consultation" opened after lunch and worship. Intros and initial remarks, and prayer.
Tues--worship, then broke into 4 groups; identified biggest justice challenges in morning. Lunch; worship; then very good presentations from several of our leaders. Then some very spirited discussion among the Congelese -- a young Democracy in action!
Wed--worship; then panel presentations from several of us, regarding the value personally and spiritually of forming local groups of Christian lawyers (including judges), followed by Q + A. Lunch; worship; then the Attendees set about to make Resolutions. Very encouraging stuff.
We also pray at every interval.
Thurs--worship + prayer; then they finished the Resolutions. Then we planted trees and painted. Now adjourned--considered very successful.
Now tired. Tomorrow we'll evaluate for the future. It will be difficult and probably slow for the Christians here to advance toward the Rule of Law but they seem dedicated to doing so!
Love,
John
