Small World

On the beach I randomly met an old friend. The tide was coming in threatening a pile of shoes left by another family on the beach. I warned them about the danger – it turned out to be my former project manager who was a Rivers and Coastal engineer…and I was lecturing him about the tide coming in! As well as being my former manager he was also a college friend, a keen Muslim with whom I had had extensive theological debates. We swapped a Bible for a Quran. He is now the chief executive of a major Islamic institution in the UK. So it was good to catch up and remind him that some Christians are OK.
