Book I'm Reading
I’m nearing the end of the narrative describing Wilson’s involvement in the initial development of the League of Nations. It’s amazing to me how committed Wilson was to the concept and bringing it into reality.
Of course we have the benefit of hindsight now, but the forces of nationalism and self-interest for nations are overwhelmingly strong. It was always going to be an uphill battle to form a council of nations who would make their own interests subservient to that of the larger council.
But, given the unimaginable tragedy and trauma of WWI that these nations had just come through, the various leaders were in a state of mind that made a League of Nations plausible.
Podcast I'm Listening To
Quick plug for The Go and Send Podcast at SonSet Solutions: in this episode we talked through the story of missionary Gladys Aylward. We trace her story from being a London housemaid all the way through the chaos of wartime China, and reflect on what her life teaches about calling, rejection, perseverance, and the kind of person God tends to use.
