Presbyterian moderator is de-bagged
We learn from the blogging Presbyterian moderator, Stafford Carson, that his luggage was lost en route to Addis Ababa.
His Bible and sermon notes were packed away, so the moderator had to preach on Sunday morning without notes, using a borrowed Bible, and wearing the clothes he travelled in.
His baggage was later recovered and returned, to Dr Carson's obvious relief. Under a blog post titled "", he has promised to provide photos.
Stafford Carson, accompanied by his wife Patricia, is on facilitated by Tear Fund and Christian Aid. He'll be visiting church partners, aid organisations, and meeting Irish government officials in Addis Ababa.
He writes: "The Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church (EKHC) was established in the early 1920s following the pioneerring missionary work of the former Sudan Interior Mission (SIM). It now has a membership of almost 6 million people within over 5,000 congregations. Part of my visit will focus on how Kale Heywet enables churches to reach out and transform their local communities."

Seriously though, I've noticed Davy Duseith goes into this type of mode when there's nothing much in the news !
