Josiah

I was going to write something about the current fad for TV shows which take the tack ‘women are good, men are bad / idiots’.

ITV’s detective series Scott & Bailey is a classic of the genre. In the cauldron of discussion over the redefinition of marriage, such propaganda is hardly helpful. The truth is ‘all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God’ (Romans 3.23). That includes both men and women.

But then, on May 4, a phone call came from Kenya to tell me that my great friend Josiah Ogalo Agengo had died of cancer. I felt I ought to mark his passing in this column.
