Dear Friends,

Sadly this is the last ‘Link’ that I will be involved with, as this summer I leave the Church in the Westlands to become Resident Minister of Hanford Church.

During my four years here, I have had many hundreds of conversations about Jesus. Many people’s initial understanding is that Jesus was merely a wise teacher, but some have gone on to realise that all of the (considerable) evidence points to the fact that Jesus is also God. If that is true then the implications are enormous; and certainly it means that what Jesus has to say is worth listening to.

The people of St Peter’s and St Andrew’s are committed to serving this community in any way they can. But their prime task is to help you come to an informed, rational and thought through conclusion about Jesus. If he was merely a wise man, then you can probably disregard him. But if he is who the evidence suggests he is, then that would be somewhat foolish.

It has been great for me to have met so many of you; but whether our paths have crossed or not, perhaps I could encourage you to talk to anyone you know who is a member of our churches, and ask them plainly why they are so convinced that Jesus is worth living for. Ask them to show you the grounds for their confidence.

With best wishes for the future

Yours sincerely,

Shaun Morris
