Who is Bartholomew? Is he the same person as Nathaniel in the Gospel according to John? What happened to him after the resurrection? These are questions that we may ask, but they remind us that the Christian movement has been fuelled and shaped by the witness of generation of 'anonymous' Christians whose names and stories are unknown to us. We know that their witness was effective because we exist. This knowledge encourages us to the same faithfulness in the hopes that succeeding generations will build upon the foundations we have laid.
