As we usually do around this time of year, we've just sent out a few hundred newsletters.  You may have one coming in the post, but if you just can't wait or if you don't usually get one by email, you can open it here and print your own. It's supposed to be printed on A4 paper and folded into a Christmas card.

We still send a lot out to people we haven't heard from for a long time and wonder if they reach the people they were intended for. Perhaps you used to get them but you have moved. We would love to hear that you are still getting them or if you don't any more but you would like to again, do get in touch. Contact info is in the downloadable letter.

It's not every day that African countries make huge language policy decisions, but today the BBC Africa news is reporting that the Rwandan parliament has decided that all education will be taught in English instead of French. It'll be interesting to see how this works out in practice. AIM has a number of people teaching theology in Rwanda at university level, I can't see that they will be switching to English until students are coming in with adequate English.
