Well why doesn't he say that then!!!?
"is he still going on...?"
It was hot and Bethan had escaped the evening sermon that the Territorial Commander was preaching. Commissioner Mattear was in full flow as I whispered to a face that was saying "doh! I came back too early".... "yes he is still going on!"
I think how to summarise the last 30 minutes to a 10 year-old. "Well... I think he is trying to say that it is well worth taking Jesus seriously..."
Bethan looks up and says "Well why doesn't he say that then!!!?"
Later there was a chance for people to kneel at a huge cross in the auditorium. Bethan whispers to me "I feel I ought to go and pray ... I want to take Jesus seriously!?"
We went together hand in hand and I remembered how 22 years ago at a Commissioning I knelt because I felt I ought to take Jesus seriously.

Im with Bethan!
Hallelujah!
PS I thought the TC was superb (incisive, courageous and perceptive) and I could have listened all night.
