Day 6

Easter Sunday. The dawn service is my favourite service of the year. Its a great turn out at my local church. 7am start to think about the very heart of the Christian faith. The 10:30 service is similarly busy. There is still a desire to believe, to follow, to be faithful, despite what the opinion polls might say about the state of the church!
I avoid reading the papers. I wonder about the veracity of the opinion polls they are printing. I don’t do any campaigning today although I get lots of unsolicited promises of support on polling day from the congregation. That's really nice but that too is perhaps a less than accurate picture of the challenge facing me.
