Peter and Annette, Thailand, write; We are really sad that events in Bangkok turned so destructive. In these days of aftermath the desire for a resolution seems to be lacking, from some quarters at least. It is hard to see which group has  justice and righteousness "on

their side.”

For ourselves we have come through an active and spiritually heartening series of Easter events to a quieter place where we can concentrate on pastoral care which is our primary calling. So far, so good. These are

good people to care for.

I (Peter) thank God for a worthwhile day teaching tribal pastors and leaders from a neighbouring country some basics on "How to prepare a Sermon."
