Culture And Kitchen

Culture and kitchen have a lot to do with each other, in the Church. I was discussing it today with a Church member who was on a kitchen roster. People of European stock tend to say: How many people have announced themselves? Have we correctly calculated the portions? and so on. People of African stock tend to say: Let's see how many people will come. Watch how we wing it. OBSERVATION: The strange thing is, both methods truly work -- though not together. A major example of the African way (and European anxiety, I am told) was the Mennonite World Conference in Bulawayo 2008 (pictured).
