A gathering of great thinkers and doers from Africa and beyond: Johannesburg, June 8 - 15 2009

The Amahoro Gathering was an awesome, grieving, happy, sad, moving and life changing experience. One can never be the same when Africa opens her heart and speaks. You want to listen. My time in Rwanda reflecting on reconciliation and healing challenged me in more way than one.

The central motivation for my traveling to Rwanda has been to learn, through relationships and experiences, about Rwanda, and Africa in general. My embedded postmodern understanding has been deeply engaged and shaped by what I have experienced over here. There is a refrain that keeps going off in my head…almost like a mantra; “Africa can save the world.”

Something will come. I could feel it as we sang and danced together with joy before God. The resilience of Africans is a sign of resurrection, a joy that moves the feet and a faith that can move mountains. The air vibrates with it, hums with it, like the cloud of dragonflies that hover around us as we walk together on red African soil.
