There have been many, many others who have stood for the truth. They have been a minority, but together, the convictions of that minority and their commitment to obey God and stand for God’s truth have made it possible for this moment of God’s intervention – God’s turning of the tide. Never underestimate the importance of ordinary people standing for the truth, because they also enable others to play their part.

Peter Storey, former president of the Methodist Church of South Africa
