South Africa Reflections: Friends

Tuesday May 27, 2008

Categories: Miscellaneous

We met so many new friends in South Africa, but I have to include some pictures of a few. I begin with Tom Smith and Trevor Hudson, who drove to Rustenburg from Johannesburg area to chat and eat lunch with Kris and me at the home of Nic and Magriet. Here is a picture of Tom and Trevor and me conversing about what theology looks like in South Africa ... I confess to being all ears on this one.

Attie explaining to me the ins and outs of Reformed theology... 8)

Theo had to examine four bottles of wine before he knew which would be best for the Stormer game. He settled on de Trafford Cab 2003. The best wine I've ever had ... and Theo's knowledge of rugby made our evening fantastic.

In Stellenbosch, I lectured to some pastors and professors and students, and afterwards had an amazing cup of latte with Jeremy Punt, a professor of NT at Stellenbosch, along with Attie, Renate and Kris.

Nic prayed for us while we were in Stellenbosch and we usually ended the evening chatting in the living room:

And finally, Attie, my new pastor friend in Rustenburg ... img_0261.JPG

Scot,

Thanks for allowing us into your lives - it was good. Australian/South African wine/rugby - it all depends on your geographical hermeneutics ;) Mine is definitely through the lens of SA - so that is my presupposition.

If risoto is your favorite Italian dish, what is your favorite SA dish? :)
