Freedom

I am writing this at 5 am, Saturday morning. I can’t sleep because of a broadcast Lent all-night prayer meeting that is going on in a church 100 yards away. I went down to the ‘tin tabernacle’ (literally) and found three members of the ‘God’s end time revival army’ church going strong with two microphones at the same time. Last week it was the raucous singing of ‘I’ve got peace like a river.’ that finally got me up.

Apparently there is a law about disturbance of the peace, but here anyone complaining about noise would be slammed by the neighbourhood (mostly Muslim) as anti-social interference with African freedom. I therefore quietly asked them to kindly turn down the volume a tad, which they did.
