First impressions

I haven't slept for about 30 hours and tomorrow starts at 6.30, just 7 short hours from now, so this will be very brief.

Gafcon started with a brilliant time of worship. There were not a few tears around the room. In my case it was a surprising combination of the 1000 people there all praising God, along with the "Jerusalem factor". It's quite intense just being here in a place with so much history.

Archbishop Akinola of Nigeria gave the opening address. More on that tomorrow. I would think the speech will likely be published on the official website.

Some logistical issues to be ironed out...

Every morning's program starts at 6.30am (good grief!)...

Lots of journalists around the conference...
