• We went to a church that had missionaries who'd come back once a year from Fiji & give talks. I remember one of them saying it was very hard work telling people they were going to lose their everlasting souls if they didn't shape up. I pictured people sitting on the beach listening to this sweaty man all dressed in black telling them they were going to burn in hell & them thinking this was good fun, these scary stories this guy was telling them & afterwards, they'd all go home & eat mango & fish & they'd play Monopoly & laugh & laugh & they'd go to bed & wake up the next day & do it all again.

• ¿Puede citarnos una sola prueba fehaciente de los beneficios de la "diversidad" de la que llevamos años oyendo hablar a borbotones? Las pruebas de sus perjuicios pueden verse -escritas con sangre- desde Iraq hasta la India, desde Serbia hasta Sudán, desde Fiyi hasta Filipinas.

• Cuando James Calvert partió como misionero hacia los caníbales de las islas Fiyi, el capitán del barco trató de echarle para atrás diciéndole: "Perderás tu vida y la de los que te acompañan si vas entre semejantes salvajes". A lo que Calvert respondió: "Morimos antes de venir aquí". Los creyentes que tienen el Evangelio siguen murmurándolo una y otra vez para sí mismos. Mientras tanto, millones que no lo han oído ni una sola vez caen en las llamas del infierno eterno sin escuchar jamás la historia de la salvación.

• One other thing: at the meeting in Canada, [there was] the coup in Fiji. This comes to an important part of the Commonwealth: the role of the Queen [Elizabeth II]. I had absolutely just enormous respect for her as leader of the Commonwealth. You could talk to her about any of the fifty-one countries of the Commonwealth and you could have an intelligent conversation with her about the economics, the politics. She really immersed herself in the Commonwealth.
