In 1998 when I was planning my pilgrimage to West Africa, I was warned against visiting Mauritania. It was explained to me that slavery against the &#8220;Black&#8221; African population was still practised there by the &#8220;White&#8221; Arabs and I could therefore put my self at risk. The fear was not so much my abduction and enslavement, but certainly [...]]]></description>

Recently I have been contemplating if the church has any real significant and positive influence on the world today, especially in the beliefs and actions of western society in particular. There was a time when Christian ideology, through the church was very influential (good and bad) in shaping political, social, cultural and even personal beliefs and viewpoints.
