“Christ is born and all shall be well” – sounds very like Jeremiah’s “peace, peace”, but there was not peace.
Substance is all important, whether it’s in the content of sermons or websites.

It must be very disappointing and frustrating for the organisers to get to this stage and then have to cancel. I like organising things like that and would have quite enjoyed working on…
