The unbeliever, Duck, needs your prayers right now. Having unwittingly sparked the whole Atonement debate, he has risen to a challenge I set him and responds as follows:

"Adrian,

I took up your challenge and listened to your sermon this morning. I'd have to say that it has been some time since I last spent a Sunday morning that way.

First off, I'd have to say that you are an excellent speaker. Growing up Catholic, I was used to the notoriously horrible sermons that the Catholic clergy are known for. Not horrible in a fire & brimstone way, but horrible in just how boring, unfocused, rambling, repetititive and uninspired they were. You certainly put them all to shame, as well as any of the TV ministers I have ever listened to.

I took good notes, and will post a detailed review on the Daily Duck soon."

I thought that such kind words were really precious - of course baring a miracle I am sure that his review of the content will find plenty to disagree on, but we enjoy that over here - provided it's done in a good natured way, of course!
