Book reading by the pool

Intermission.

We are all celebrating God's gift of creation this afternoon by relaxing by the 'piscina de olympiad' in Copiapo.

I have just read the following sentence in this latest book (took 5 with me, this is the 4th!)
'Spanish has since 1980 been the leading language of church membership in the world...in our lifetimes, the centuries-long north atlantic captivity of the church is drawing to an end.' (p9)

Once again, the significance of participating in this trip does not escape me.
