"What would you say if I told you I was an aggressive Christian...?" "I'd tell you to p..s off!" You should try it - it really is encouraging! I probably need to get hold of the original Catherine Booth classic and also the contemporary version from Canada - if I am to get my head around this mindset. ---- Steve Court has something to say ... here
