Berlin Christmas Markets Mug

In December 2018 I represented the United Reformed Church at a consultation in Berlin organised by the Presbyterian Church USA. It was a consultation for European and Middle Eastern partners, and proved to be a fascintaing exploration of the challenges of mission in our particular and differing contexts.

It was particularly interesting to be partnerd with Middle Eastern churches who undoubtedly face significant challenges in what is often a troubled context. 

We live in a changed and changing world and it is often difficult to know how to proclaim the Gospel. But it is important to remember that God is so much bigger thsn we are, and has a much bigger picture.

In Berlin we went, one evening, to the Christmas markets, where I got this mug, portraying a bnnch of Berlin schenes, a reminder of the need to offer the light and love of Christ in a very mixed-up world.
