‘That sermon which does not lead to Christ, or of which Jesus Christ is not the top and the bottom, is a sort of sermon that will make the devils in hell to laugh, but might make the angels of God to weep, if they were capable of such emotion.’

@tinnion_brian Terry was manager when I became Chaplain 39 years ago. He could not have been more supportive and encouraging, and a good friend through the intervening years. Thank you TC. Our thoughts and prayers today are with Rose, Mark and the family.

Received in a letter from a friend. In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis observes, “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”
