Couldn't Help Noticing

An online survey of issues, events and ideas

Letter-writing efforts continue

Gordon Cheng / 9th March 2006 / The ones they wouldn't publish!

Vigilant readers of CHN will have noticed that I've been publishing fewer unpublished letters lately in my quest to get the gospel into national newspapers. But once again I've decided it's time to lift the strike rate. this one actually made it in:

Dear editor,

Tony Popdera, you are right. I tried to tell my Christian mates not to get too excited by Pete Jensen's Boyer lectures getting onto the wireless, as no-one normal actually listens to them—although give yourself 10 bonus IQ points for even knowing that he's giving them.

But you asked for a summary of the Boyer message, so here goes: Jesus died on the cross and rose again, so that we could escape judgement and become children of God. We remember this at Christmas and Easter, but most people couldn't tell you why.

Now if others can do better than this, I will personally undertake to give the summarizer a signed copy of the lectures. If I can't persuade the Archbishop to sign, I will do it myself.

Yours Sincerely,

The Rev. Gordon Cheng
