Fitting in and the Gospel.

Now that we've brought up the subject of fitting in, as ex-Edronites almost all of us have had to adapt to different cultures, and perhaps most of us don't feel fully integrated into whatever culture we're now living in, which can feel alienating at times. However, I think the crux of the problem lies elsewhere as many people, even those who have lived in only one country, feel a bit alienated sometimes.
I don't usually quote Jesus but I think HE had the key to this when he said "know thyself and you will know others and (this is the bit I like) others will know you", even if you have a funny accent and a cross-gender name.
