From a Mum carrying her child in pyjamas and dressing gown. "I used to come to see your lights when I was a child. It was so magical for me. Now I am bringing my own child." From an elderly lady. "I walk down this road throughout the year, and your garden always fills me with hope and lifts my spirits. In the summer, filled with flowers and animals and now these amazing Christmas lights. It's a dark world sometimes, and your home just helps so much." From a year 7 school pupil. "It's incredible. I saw it last year, but I didn't have much money then, but this year I can donate and it's such a worthy cause." From a nearby workman. " It's great. I'm bringing my kids at the weekend. Well done mate. Here take this for the charity." From a local teacher. "When I was younger I went to Zambia and helped build a school. I was so overwhelmed by the positivity of the people, it changed my life. I went back to university and trained to be a teacher. What you are doing is brilliant."

I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE  CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED  TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS,  IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.

"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
