Transcript

I am a Christian, myself, so to be able to go to their church and participate in their worship was something I was very privileged to do. And they welcomed us into their church. And to be able to sing with them and join in with them. It was something I wanted to do. And it was something that they valued, that we were doing it and I know Frank Roberts, he and I, we just loved going to the church on a Sunday morning because there'd be a procession along the streets to go into church.

And then there'd be this huge procession coming out where it was all about the community reconnecting. Then you'd go to the markets, the outdoor markets and buy the food and talk to the community. It was such a day of not only worship, but also that community connection.
