About Fr Stephen Smuts
TAC Priest in South Africa.


Excellent report. That is exactly what religion journalism should be; dispassionate and balanced.
In the initial reports about their reception, St Luke was described in secular or TEC-related media as a community mainly from Africa and the Caribbean. I would even go as much as saying that there was a thinly veiled trace of racial prejudice applied to downplay this very first conversion of a parish.
However, the video shows a balanced multi-race Christian community, which is really a great example itself, as things like the one described in the link below still happen in the US (and St Luke is in Maryland which was once a slave state).
