Christianity
By mallisle
Sometimes the best way to explain and expound spiritual truth is by telling a story. This is certainly the pattern in the Bible, where nearly every book actually tells the story of Israel's history, of Jesus, or of the early church. My intention here is to communicate quite complicated spiritual truths not by lists of facts and Bible verses but by stories of things that have happened to me or happened to the church.

Closed Country
This story is dedicated to my friend Yohannes, an asylum seeker who was deported to Ethiopia on Tuesday 16th January 2007, while this story was being written. Details of this story are based on real accounts of Yohannes and others like him. It is called closed country and the country it refers to is never mentioned, in the style of many missionary news reports which never mention the name of the country or the name of the Christians as this would endanger them.
