Who we are - The Spokes of Axle

As with many things in our age, it starts over a cup of coffee. In the midst of four busy lives, we grabbed two hours to discuss an idea. Two hours became an ongoing coffee club of discussion filled with laughter, friendship and disagreement: ten years of democracy, terrorism, homosexuality, poverty, unemployment, biblical values, fundamentalism and what it means to be an evangelical. A sense of relief, a chance to ask the questions, to get honest answers and encouraging each other about a relationship with Christ that transforms society. Offering opinion, humour, scripture, debate ...proudly South African, offering reflections on life in SA today, as believers trying to live things out in a world filled with shades of mauve (grey is too boring). Politically left of centre but acknowledging that Jesus isn’t owned by the left, the right or anything in between. Evangelical roots but uncomfortable with what the word has come to mean, restricting it to a limited section of the actual evangelical world.
