Map of USA with usa flag insideDeborah, Kirsty and I have been invited to visit the United States of America for 2 weeks, at the end of August. We have a packed schedule of travelling. First we fly into Los Angeles where we meet with Ray Comfort, evangelist and co-host of Way Of The Master ministry. I’ll let Ray tell you more about what we’ll be doing there as you listen to a brief section of an interview he did with Rick Wiles on TruNews Radio.

Police Tell Christian: It’s A Crime To Say “Homosexuality Is A Sin”
Jun 8th, 2009 by Andrew Drapper

Police officers told an open-air preacher in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, it is a criminal offence to identify homosexuality as a sin. They said this to Andy Robertson, even though he had not mentioned homosexuality in his preaching.

He was recording his preaching because the local council had been making allegations about the content of his message. The conversation with police officers was caught on tape.

We are very close now to the church being told it can not longer preach from the Bible. The Bible is all but an illegal book in the UK now. It is just a small step form being declared illegal under hate crimes law!

Preach while you still have opportunity.

What A Contrast: Baptist Times v Special Edition Films
Jun 3rd, 2009 by Andrew Drapper

DeborahToday I received an email from the non-Christian director of the film company that produced ‘Deborah 13 Servant Of God’. It was just such a contrast to the email I received the other day from Mark Woods, editor or the Baptist Times.

After a chatty paragraph about the short listing of the documentary for the Grierson Award , he tells us that the BBC have asked him for 500 words and says “I’m not sure how this will be used (I was only asked yesterday and they need it this morning), but I believe it’s part of the formal submission process, but it may well be published in supporting materials/website.”

He than says “I’m attaching the copy which has been sent to BBC – it’s already been approved by you but thought it best to run it by you.” and he then tells us of a minor change he has made to the original copy, and gives us his mobile number “If you have any issues”.

He has no requirement to do this. We have no veto with him or the BBC, but it is just he is a decent man.

The copy is descent and respectful and presents Deborah and her family in a balanced manor. How Mark Woods can say Read the rest of this entry »

'Deborah 13 Servant Of God' Short-listed for Grierson Award!
Jun 3rd, 2009 by Andrew Drapper

Grierson Award

The BBC 3 documentary about our family and especially about Deborah has been short-listed for the Grierson Award!

The Grierson Awards commemorate the pioneering Scottish documentary filmmaker John Grierson (1898 – 1972), famous for Drifters and Night Mail and the man widely regarded as the father of the documentary.

Established in 1972, the Grierson Awards recognise and celebrate documentaries from Britain and abroad that have made a significant contribution to the genre and that demonstrate quality, integrity, creativity, originality and overall excellence.

Awards are given in a number of categories, including Arts, History, Science and Contemporary Issue, as well as to a first time film maker.

There is also some talk of making a follow up film, covering her continuing growth in Jesus.

Mark Woods, (Baptist Times), Replies, But No Apology!

Baptist Times Article

Baptist Times Article

I have had a reply now to the letter I sent to Mark Woods, (Editor Baptist Times). At the bottom of his email it says that, [his e-mail (including any attached files) may contain confidential and/or privileged information...... Any unauthorised copying, disclosure or distribution of the material in this e-mail is strictly forbidden.]‘ I do not believe I am really bound by this because of what the Baptist Times has said of Deborah and Matthew.I will not copy it here, but I will, let you have the gist of it.

Mark says that having now seen the documentary it does seem there are some inaccuracies and ascriptions in Mr Stuckey’s article. Mark puts this down to over-sketchy notes, so presumably that makes it OK.

He then asks whether these ‘slips’ affect Mr Stuckey’s judgement?

Let me just remind you that there were eleven direct quotes in Mr Stuckey’s article. Out of those eleven, only eleven, were misquoted, eight were changed to make the quote more extremist, three were mis-attributed and one had it’s meaning totally changed. So only a little slip!

Mark says that he believes that Mr Stuckey’s article is a reasonable response to the documentary, and that there is nothing to apologise for. Mark suggest that having totally misunderstood, (it must be misunderstood as Mark does not appear to believe that any exaggeration or deliberate spin has been put on the article), having totally misunderstood the meaning or attitude of many of the main characters in the documentary has not affected his judgement of the documentary.

Mark then goes on to blame the programme makers and us for our unhappiness with Mr Stuckey’s article, and explaining that we may not be able to see how it could be seen by others. But that, that is the risk that we have taken.

He then goes on to talk of Read the rest of this entry »
