Indaba wine....Ubuntu beer?

At the Anglican Bishops' Lambeth Conference last year, the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams had the bishops meet in "Indaba" groups in which they explored scripture, built friendships, and worked towards greater unity in the Church. I happily noticed bottles of "Indaba wine" while on vacation in Cape Cod. Is Ubuntu beer next?

Ubuntu and Reconciliation - quote from Nelson Mandela on enemies




To make peace with an enemy one must work with that enemy, and that enemy becomes one’s partner.

- Nelson Mandela


I wonder if we could do a little more of this in our Anglican Communion...?
...and at our next General Convention?

Ubuntu and Reconciliation - thoughts by Ched Myers




Reconciliation is not something accomplished by Christ for God, nor inflicted on Christ by God, but forged by God through Christ. This wreaks havoc on the medieval (but still widespread) doctrine that Christ’s death functions to placate an angry or offended deity. Rather, the “crucified God” represents a fundamentally restorative initiative by the Divine victim towards the human offender.
