During his first meeting with the NSW Premier Morris Iemma, Peter Jensen offered him prayers and raised key concerns such as the State’s lack of mental health services.

The great danger is that the biblical teaching about sin is being redefined through this issue of human sexuality, writes Peter Jensen in the Christchurch newspaper, The Press.

School scripture does not necessarily translate into Christian commitment and church attendance, so using kids’ ministry models is a way of helping to overcome the problem.
