I had seen him in concert, his songs were on the radio, and there we were in a tavern in Barcelona, chatting quietly about his life and his music. I remember that he was interested in me and my two classmates, and he wondered how we felt about studying journalism, now that we were taking our first steps.

A lack of communication and unjustified violence have brought tragedy to an evangelical community in Nazaret, a neighbourhood in Valencia near the port. A 25-year-old man who was a member of a Filadelfia evangelical church (made up mainly of Roma believers) died after being stabbed near the place of worship on the afternoon of Friday 2 May, while a worship service was being held. His life could not be saved despite being taken to the La Fe hospital in Valencia.

One of the most beautiful examples of friendship occurred during the Olympic Games of Seoul, and involved a runner named MOULAY BRAHIM BOUTAIB, winner of the 10,000 metres race. As he was approaching the end of the race in first place, there was a high possibility of breaking the world record. However, he almost stopped running for a moment to look behind him, where SALVATORE ANTIBO was fighting to stay in second place.

‘There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be … unholy, … without self-control, brutal, … lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God … Have nothing to do with such people.’ 2 Timothy 3:1–5 The responses of evangelical churches and organisations to allegations of abuse have been vitiated by five factors: wrong expectations, wrong priorities, a wrong reading of biblical stories, a wrong approach to sin and crime, and a wrong view of love and justice.
