I would be astonished anyway if NTSS had penetrated any further than that in Africa at this stage.<br /><br />618 visits is very good for a blogsite which is quite specialised and fairly new but you are also now beginning to be featured on the 'big' church sites. <br /><br />It's early days yet and undoubtedly good work is being done by you that would otherwise be neglected or ignored.penwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363809450765158672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108550303571033600.post-41751521415788095412009-07-31T18:30:03.548+01:002009-07-31T18:30:03.548+01:00Penwatch, you have been consistently supportive of...Penwatch, you have been consistently supportive of this blog, for which my thanks.<br /><br />But of 618 visits in the last month just 43 came from the whole of Africa. <br /><br />The biggest group, perhaps not surprisingly, was visitors from the UK (378), well over half. 128 visits were from the US with the rest scattered around the globe.<br /><br />I have a sense of astonishment that anyone in, say, Indonesia or Iran (2 visits each) would want to visit, but the stats largely reflect the ease of internet access in the western - predominantly white - world.<br /><br />All visitors and (to date, anyway) all comments are welcome - and it is especially gratifying to receive comments from other perspectives than my own.Paul Bagshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694279608748668806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108550303571033600.post-54652835994821431372009-07-31T09:57:28.462+01:002009-07-31T09:57:28.462+01:00Hear hear.

The problem is that African bishops in particular and others in general have a tendency to take on the role of 'princes of the church' and become an autoctratic caste apart. <br /><br />Fortunately, easier access to modern communications, including your blog (which is accessed in mud-walled and straw-roofed internet cafes in otherwise inaccessible places all over Africa), is beginning to challenge this.<br /><br />More power to your elbow and keep up the good work!penwatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363809450765158672noreply@blogger.com
