Soph has this review of the night ...
Last night the Archbishop Peter Jensen came to speak at our “Ultimate Relationship” dinner. It was an excellent night and I really enjoyed myself.
I’ve never heard Peter Jensen speak having only ever read his Easter and Christmas columns in the SMH, and was pleasantly surprised to see that he speaks in the same way that he writes. What I liked about his talk was that he gently illuminated the passage of Jesus speaking to the rich, young ruler. He didn’t try to push an agenda or fit the Gospel into a tidy formula; he beautifully explained the passage, gave us insights into our own lives and revealed who Jesus is. I love this kind of preaching.
Other than that, the night was kickin’, with good music, wine, a tasty meal and cosy atmosphere. Our church presents itself nicely at night – I think it has to do with the high ceilings, wooden floors and good lighting.
