Good presentations. One note...the Rwandan video and the lady from India’s video both cut off shortly after they began and I could not get them to play again.
On the topic of reconciliation which is so very important...a great book is Once An Arafat Man by Tass Saada. He was a former member of the PLO and hated all Jews...when he became a Christian, God radically changed his heart. He now loves them and works full time to bring reconciliation between Arabs and Jews. Powerful book!

Discussion on barriers and challenges||At our table, we realize that there are lots of issues that create problems within the church. Some of them are quite touchy and our recommendations are:
1. PRAY, PRAY AND PRAY over such issues.
2. There is need to offer care and counseling to people who we think are in the wrong. If they have admitted being in the wrong, they must not be left to nurse bitterness.
3. We must agree to offer correction in love to those who even think they are not wrong.

Rwanda analysis||Thank you for taking the effort to analyse and present results from the Rwanda experience. It is insightful and helpful to the rest of the church. This was the highlight for the morning session today. Clear and insightful, yet not too ’academic’.
The questions that arise from the points you presented included considering our methods of evangelism. If those who brought the gospel to Rwanda and oversaw the expansion in some sense ’failed’ despite the growth - what does it mean now?
One mission question arises:
There are structures and networks in our society that we take advantage of for the spread of the gospel - such as ’homogenous units’ and ’opinion leaders’. With strategic methods focussed on these features of scoiety, the gospel spreads quickly and widely. But to the extent that we exploits these networks without applying a prophetic voice against some of these networks where needed, the church fails in some way.
We need numbers - not the place to argue that.
We can measure the ’spread’ of the church using numbers. But perhaps we need to develop a measure of the ’depth’ of the church and start measuring that. Perhaps we can use measure of societal transformation as a proxy, but these have a long delay.
I suspect we will not change the practice until we change the measures.

Reconciliation ||Table discussion:
One major obstacle is when churches are not standing in unity. This affects our credibility. Another obstacle is that traditional Christians do not accept those that come to Jesus from a Muslim background.
