Aglow with Jesus!
So, I had a fascinating but ultimately exhausting evening...and morning! I went to a 10 HOUR marathon church fellowship meeting with my darling devout Rita. It's apparently a world wide organization called Aglow, & it sponsors all kinds of conventions/ fellowship worship meetings. It is 98% women, mostly of a middle aged to elder population. There WERE men there, but out of this vast convention hall, easily the size of two football fields or airplane hangers, I only counted 3 men out of hundreds & hundreds of women all dressed in snowy white turbans & flowing white gowns. It's quite a remarkable sight, because Ghanan women are so dark & the white sets off their dazzling smiles & broad faces. It reminded me once again of the Baiana women in Brasil, only they are VERY VERY strong in their original polytheistic views from Nigeria, where gods w/ same names are still worshipped both in Nigeria & N. Brasil. White shows the Baianas are follower...
