When Graeme and Vince were on Ascension Island, they had problems getting a venue to hold their meetings. The school room that was previously used by Nick Cleveley, was refused to them this time around. Much to Graeme's pleasant surprise, the Catholics offered the use of their church to them, and even advertised that a "Baptist meeting" was going to be held there. Just to make sure that he would not be stepping on any unnecessary toes, Graeme contacted the bishop in charge, (Monsiegneur Mc Partland) and got his happy permission to go ahead with their meetings.
Monsiegneur payed a short visit to St Helena, and in reciprocation to his kindness to Graeme, agreed to have him in our pulpit. They agreed on the subject matter of the sermon, and all was arranged.
He preached on prayer. I was challenged by a comment that he made : Whenever we pray, we engage the Trinity. For all prayer should be addressed to the Father, through the Son, by means of the Holy Spirit. Prayer is therefore one of the most important activities that we should be engaged in.
