Algerian style Ladies’ Lunch

November 18, 2006

Sabina and her husband had to flee Algeria becuase of their Christain faith about 13 years ago.  They ‘camped’ in the church for 9 months with their 2 young children until they could get a place to stay.  This afternoon Sabina invited me and a group of ladies from the church for lunch.  It was lovely!  we ate North Afican food and drank copious amounts of mint tea. 

I find it so interesting, and also encouraging, to see how Sabina can mix her Algerian culture with her Christian faith.  France has a 10% muslim population, and where I live it is a lot higher than that.  It is imperative that I learn how to communicate into this culture and I’m really greatful for Sabina and her friendship.
