if you don't want to be disappointed when meeting your heroes, make sure you choose the right heroes! Mark Russell (chief executive of Church Army, the evangelist bit of the Church of England) talks about meeting his:

This picture proves that this week, I met the man I have looked up to most in the Christian world all my life. When I was a kid I watched this man address huge crowds in South Africa appealing for calm, and urging them to work peacefully to dream of a new South Africa, a rainbow people of God. What inspired me as a child, and still does, was Desmond Tutu couldn't just preach theology from his pulpit when injustice was going on in the streets. His faith drove him to change the world around him. He became a force for good, for justice, and for God.

It was as I sat there, in this rather bewildered state of 'jet-lag' that I felt that God spoke to me. Not as an audible voice, admittedly, but through a jolt of Holy Presence. The words came very clearly, almost as if they were sprayed onto the wall of my consciousness graffiti-style. "Why not organise an event that I'd like to come to?" he said. It shook me to the core.

Taken from Rob Frost's vision for the Pentecost festival in London from the 9th to the 11th of May 2008.
