• If you're a short-seller, that's a cacophony of negative reinforcement. You're basically told that you're wrong in every way imaginable every day.

• I think there's an awful lot of noise about the Church being persecuted but there is a more real issue that the conventional churches face - that the people who are really driving their revival and success believe in an old-time religion which, in my view, is incompatible with a modern, multi-ethnic, multicultural society.

• The voice of God whispers in the heart
  So softly
  That the soul pauses,
  Making no noise,
  And strives for these melodies,
  Distant, sighing, like faintest breath,
  And all the being is still to hear.
