Hi, Re: Wall to wall crowds for an evangelist I never heard of. Frightening and sad. And Canadian. I just thought of something! You know I'm going to be in Toronto in a couple of weeks for a couple of days. (Unfortunately not over a weekend-Ben has a merit badge academy that he has to attend). Isn't Toronto where the "Laughing Church" started? This would, actually, also fit in with Eric said about 'a church' (not necessarily a religion but, in reflection, maybe so...) being a 'safe' place to express emotions. I know of several who have made pilgrimages to The Laughing Church.
