In short, the mornings are for missiological reflection and the evenings are for practical application. The breaks and mealtimes afford opportunities to explore our different subjects informally, through the sharing of experiences and simply the enjoyment of one another’s company. These informal times are always essential in our consultations, both for mutual learning and for building relationships.
