It's NOT a "Shawl"... It's a "Mantle"!!!

One of our first stops after leaving the YWCA was to visit Bible League HQ to see how the organization works from the inside. It is here that I have to tell you that our Indian brothers and sisters are really amazing, and shame us as Americans when it comes to the issue of hospitality. Whenever a team comes to India, each member is greeted with some incredible token of welcome. In this instance, each team member received a unique shawl to wrap around their necks (or… as the manly men on the team insist, “it’s not a ‘shawl’ if you’re a guy… it’s a ‘mantle’!!!). We were also treated to cold pop and cookies while there. Mmmmmmmm!
