Okay, I've finally started a blog. I wanted to call it "Mind the Gap" because I was thinking about this ubiquitous warning so popularized by the London Underground to guard against unwary passengers slipping into the gap between platform and train. Sadly, that name wasn't available.

Why "With Other Eyes"? Because it is my desire to cast a gaze upon American culture, and American Christianity in particular, 'with other eyes'. While I grew up in the USA, I had the great privilege to spend most of my adult life in West Africa where, with the passage of a couple decades, I began to see my life, and culture in general, 'with other eyes'.

Most specifically, I will attempt to paint a different perspective on the nature and life of the church in the USA in hopes of encouraging and stimulating a hunger and passion for intercultural relationships.

More later...
