What the Miss Grand International incident reveals about Myanmar’s political psychology

Mission beyond Empire and Colonialism. A thoughtful exposé.
"Colonisation has impacted the mission output of both. In the case of the descendants of colonisers, mission continues to be largely rooted in different forms of power. For the colonised, they continue to some extent mirror Western models of mission paradigms and attitudes with all its flaws"
Decolonising mission: Jesus’s decolonial ethic of God’s Kingdom

I always enjoy the view of this basilica (it’s not a ceathedral, Barcelona alelready had one, and a city can only have one cathedral).

The Cathedral has been under construction for 142 years. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is set to be finished in 2026, around 144 years after construction first started on the Catholic church in 1882.
