May 30, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — Whether or not black people who are born in England are English is a complex question that has no easy answer. There are many factors to consider, such as the person’s race, ethnicity, nationality, and culture.
In the United Kingdom, the term “English” is often used to refer to people of white British descent. However, this definition is not always accurate or inclusive. There are many black people who have lived in England for generations and who consider themselves to be English. Continue reading →
May 30, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — London is a global city with a diverse population. This diversity is reflected in the city’s accents. There are many different accents spoken in London, each with its own unique history and culture.
Accents can be a powerful way to identify with a particular group of people. For example, someone with a Cockney accent is likely to be from East London, while someone with a Received Pronunciation accent is likely to be from a more affluent area. Continue reading →
Any thoughts of escaping to a more natural life was regarded as being sinful. The idea of being unfaithful to your vocation was a step on the way to hell. It would be a mortal sin.
These are the words of Mary, my mother. She was just 15 when she entered a convent in Ireland in 1950 and 34 by the time she finally managed to leave.

May 24, 2023 /Lifestyle/ — Zambia is an important country for global evangelism for a number of reasons. First, it is a large country with a population of over 18 million people. Second, Zambia is a relatively poor country, with a GDP per capita of just over $1,500. This means that there are many people in Zambia who are open to the message of the gospel because they are looking for hope and a better life. Third, Zambia has a long history of Christianity. The first missionaries arrived in Zambia in the 1800s, and today, the majority of Zambians are Christian. This means that there is a strong foundation of Christian faith in Zambia, which makes it a fertile ground for evangelism.
In addition to these factors, Zambia is also important for global evangelism because of its strategic location. Zambia is located in the heart of Africa, and it borders a number of other countries, including Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. This means that Zambia is a gateway to other parts of Africa, and it has the potential to reach a large number of people with the gospel. Continue reading →

Crowds in some cities were so large and dense that on occasion barriers had to be removed for safety reasons. The masses were spilling out into busy highways, people were sitting on top of walls, on top of buildings, and even filling the branches of trees in the vicinity of the fields where the open-air meetings were taking place! Some people reported traveling for over thirty hours. Some made the journey by boat. Attendees were sleeping on the meeting grounds overnight because they had traveled from other towns and villages with no place to spend the night. Continue reading →
