Stephen Hall

Well, there's nothing more to tell really. But, having regard to your moniker, I thought you might appreciate my favourite piece of stained glass: · _{13 minutes ago}

Stephen Hall: I was finishing some graduate studies in England. When I arrived there I was an atheist. During my studies, I was introduced to the works of CS Lewis, and I read almost all his apologetics over a period of about 2 years. So I guess I was primed. Then, I had a few days to kill before returning home to Australia, so I visited Greece to see the cradle of our civilisation. On my second day I walked into a small Orthodox church building in Athens. I saw a Virgin-and-Child icon in one corner which appeared to be the main artwork in the church, so I walked over to have a look. After a few seconds looking at it, I began to cry, and I just couldn't stop for about 15 minutes. A priest came over to see if I was alright, but  I think he guessed what was going on and left me alone. I came out of that church a believing Christian.

So, an Ulster Protestant and an Orthodox icon paved the way for my conversion to the Catholic faith.

Stephen Hall: Too much in the way of car chases and fisticuffs. Not enough effort directed at having a tight and credible plot. Kirk's kumbaya speech to the assembled star fleet was incongruous and gratingly Hollywood liberal.

On the other hand, it did not take itself too seriously and the humour was refreshing.

Nice to see a tribble.
