My experience came after many years of doubting and uncertainty. It came to me one evening, alone in the sitting room at home. It came at a moment when God, who through many people and events over a period of several months had been pursuing me, put his hand on my shoulder. I had to respond - yes or no. It was unequivocal, inescapable and unconditional. It was also completely unemotional; I was stone cold sober - no heavenly visions or lumps in the throat. It was a challenge to the will, a gift of faith for me to reject or accept - and I accepted.
Roy Farrant, 1974
