Then, next Wednesday at 7:30PM, we host the English Unity Service, with The Rev. Peter Koon, a Chaplain at St. John's Cathedral and the Provincial General Secretary of the Hong Kong Anglican Church. The variety and diversity of Christians never ceases to amaze me. Nor does the unity we find in Christ. Pastor Greg |
