Hi, or should I say, High! As hundreds of people gathered in Hyde Park to boldly smoke cannabis in full view of the polices in what has become an Easter Sunday annual protest. They gathered a few hundred yards away from the Corner and we could detect the unpleasant smell associated with this drug all afternoon. On the plus side there were no fights, or anyone being punched today, so perhaps it had a calming effect on us all \u2013 lol.<\/p>\n

It was good today to have some particularly good conversations, the highlight being a two-hour Q&A with Taker a Danish Moslem man who seemed to have memorised every argument and verse the Muslims use to refute Christianity. It was good to show him what many of these misquoted Bible verses really mean in context, but he really is blinkered to the truth, praying that the Holy Spirt himself will bring light and understanding.<\/p>\n
