@GrahamRKings Thank you for sharing that photograph.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Onesimus in 2017 during a visit to the Bible Society's library within Cambridge University Library. He is extremely helpful and we are grateful for his support of #MissionAssist and our work to digitise rare and fragile scriptures.

@GrahamRKings Perhaps it would be better to tack this on *some* evangelicals than broadly blaming Evangelicals. Especially since the BECA has outright condemned the actions of the insurrectionists.

Tragically, later,

home town rejects

home-grown Prophet,

who cites my acts

for people outside.


Unsightly reaction incited:

my perennial problem.

grahamkings.org/poem/perennial PERENNIAL PROBLEM

Into Egypt,

Joseph was sold,

rose to the heights,

and saved my people.

Out of Egypt,

Moses was freed,

received my Law,

and led my people.


Out of Egypt,

I called my Son,

brought by family,

renewing my people.

Threat of death passed over,

bypassing Judea,

Galilee beckons,

Nazareth welcomes,

my Refugee.
