Bernard drinks his first Coca-Cola on Christmas Day after six months with nothing to eat or drink. The March newsletter from my brother-in-law Dr. Russell White of Tenwek Hospital, Kenya, Africa is here.

I think of Russ when I sense the politically correct condescending to Christian missionaries in Africa. Hard as it is to believe, there are people who resent the stories my wife Victoria tells of her childhood in the Belgian Congo where her father, Robert White, was a missionary doctor. One needn’t be a Christian or a theist to admire the good and altruistic lives lived by missionaries like Russ and Beth White.

In case you missed my earlier post of it, read Matthew Parris’s Times of London piece, “As an Atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God.”
