"Patsy spoke to us, as we gathered as bishops' spouses at the 2008
Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, England. She spoke, with tears
running down her face, of God's call to her husband, Todd, to
return to Madagascar as a bishop. God's call to Todd was,
inevitably, a call to Patsy, too. But Patsy couldn't see what she
would have to offer God, until God reminded her of the story of the
widow's mite. Patsy was to offer whatever she had, however
inadequate it felt. God would know its value and how to use it.
Tamana describes how Patsy came to be just where God needed her and
her gifts. But also how, in the generous, humourous love of God,
Patsy realised that she was being given what she needed, as she
offered what she had. Patsy describes the poverty, the illness, the
sheer effort of life in Madagascar without sentiment. But she also
describes the riches of love, interdependence and community." Dr.
Jane Williams, Tutor in Theology, St. Mellitus College, London and
Chelmsford, and wife of the former Archbishop of Canterbury. Tamana
is The Rev. Dr. Patsy McGregor's third book about her missionary
experiences in Madagascar and Kenya with her husband, The Rt. Rev.
Dr. Todd McGregor. Tamana draws upon her journals, reflections from
the windows of their residence in Ankilifaly, Madagascar,
conversations with others, and other resources she relied upon
while living in Ankilifaly. To facilitate readers' reflections
about their own spiritual journeys and challenges, each chapter
concludes with "Opportunities for Personal Reflection." These
sections highlight experiences described in the chapter and suggest
questions for thought, reflection, and prayer concerning the
chapter theme and the reader's own spiritual growth. Opportunities
for Personal Reflection may guide individual exploration and
discovery as well as structure and focus small group discussion.
