Trump, Naboth & Greenland

The world continues to be in ferment. Words written about events one moment can be immediately superseded by new developments the next. Often today such rapid changes in the news seem to revolve around the President of the US, Donald J Trump.

Among many other examples of an often Trump-centred world in flux, few would have predicted a short while ago that one of the countries making news in 2026 would be Greenland. Such is the unpredictable era in which we live.

But the unexpected emergence of Greenland as a news item can remind us of two things. First of all, it may help us think about the missional imperative of the gospel. We are called to “make disciples of all nations” – and that includes many lands to which we might not often give much thought, such as Greenland.
