The Green Dust

Regular doses of fellowship will ward off its nefarious effect | Andrée Seu

I received this email from a young woman in Barcelona:

"I am studying in Spain for the semester and as exciting as it is to be here, I find myself in a situation quite hostile to any kind of message declaring absolute truth, especially the penetrating word of Scripture. My greatest desire is to find fellowship, and for God to be able to use me here despite the antagonism."

And may she indeed find fellowship—quick!

Rachel is experiencing her first concentrated exposure to the Green Dust. The Green Dust is invisible, odorless, and colorless. You will not detect it as some anthrax powder on your postcards of Sacrada Familia or Place del Tibidabo. Nor does the rain of this dust fall mainly on the plain of Spain. I had a brother for 30 years in France who voiced the same complaint.
