AFRICA JOURNAL: Return To West A Stark Contrast To Uganda

02 June 2011

LONDON — Rural Uganda is a culture shock, especially if one is staying where I've stopped over on my way back to the United States — near famous Piccadilly Circus in London, close to Buckingham Palace and Parliament buildings, the center of a former world empire.

My expedition to Africa was met with smashing success and a revelation; not only can simple, rural Africans teach "wealthy" Americans something about relationship with God, it is essential Americans understand what Africans have learned if they are to survive spiritually.

Read more regarding these thoughts in my "Under The Waterfall" column this Saturday. Thank you for following me to Africa.
