Wendy and I recently visited the "Cave Church" of Cairo, the St. Simon Monastery, where the great recyclers, the so-called "Garbage People" of Cairo practice their faith.  We saw a vibrancy there, a joy, and a deep love for God in these incredibly hard-working, welcoming, and devoted believers.  The children in particular were truly amazing.  It is an intensity that we desperately need in our churches in the United States.
