Pearl white robes really standout in the Congo. Maybe, it is just the background of dirt, sand, and dust that makes them standout. Or maybe, it is bright and colorful Congolese fabrics that makes them standout.
It is equally astonishing how white stay white in the Congo. No modern detergents or washing machines. No plastic bags for protection.
That's some of the things I think about during those long church services in the sweltering heat when I can understand most of what is being said.
