Christ Church

The sermon was 39mins but delivered by a tour-guide turned priest so its magnificent meat for me.

Its a call to be as passionate about the Kingdom of God as Jesus was/is. The word Kingdom might give you shivers re: power, control and position. But that's not Jesus' Kingdom which is about love and mercy and service. His And finally came 17mins before the end.

At the eucharist he says Those of you endeavouring to put Jesus first in your life are welcome to join us for Communion. Nice.

I went with Mike & family to the Mall which was so uninteresting that I sat down to read the Book of Esther. A Taiwanese man asks 'English bible?' His wife is trying on clothes, so he tells me how Jesus is coming soon to the Mount of Olives, how China is 10% Christian and South Korea maybe 50% and how most pastor's downfall is to do with money or women.

Someone asked me what I'm eating out here; so for breakfast a bowl of (hebrew transliterated) Kurnphlakes, pre-lunch we had slices of mushroom pizza in the car on the way to the Mall and then the most fabulous plate of Indian food and tonight we're making Sushi.

  4. You are starting to look slightly Jewish!
    Love the Scottish church. As my 'nanna' used to say: 'They're like fleas: they get everywhere'! It would seem she was right!
    More photos of Lucy, please!
