I remember when the Chernobyl disaster happened. I remember we had tadpoles in a pond in the garden in Devon. The next day they were all dead. I firmly believe the two things were connected. I am watching a programme on T.V. tonight about a new bid to contain the radio activity at Chernobyl. The narration is very upbeat but it seems to me that containing something like this is not an easy task. I commend to you the men working on this project. Hopefully their health is being monitored and every measure taken to keep them safe. For years after the disaster I remember children from the area came to Tiverton for a month each year, as this gave them valuable time away from contaminated areas where they lived. I think we do not know the full story of the effect of Chernobyl. Maybe even the increased incidence of cancer in our own area has something to do with it, but most certainly it is the people of Ukraine who have suffered the worst.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
