   Chris is an ordinary looking fella, with an ordinary outlook on life, with   
   ordinary friends, and an ordinary attitude. But he's an extraordinary type of   
   guy. I first met Chris in my Potter's house days, the twin brother of Brenton,   
   who I lived with in a    
   group house in Pearce when we were going to Potters House Christian church.   
   Chris came to church occasionally, but had spiritual issues which prevented   
   him from coming all the time. But a friendship with Chris persisted, even   
   after I left Christian faith    
   in 1999, and for a while in the early 2000s I was visiting him in his flat in   
   Belconnen which he shared with Dave Hobday for a while. Chris is blonde, of   
   average height and weight, and remains a dedicated believer in Jesus of   
   Nazareth, though these days    
   his church attendance is minimal at best. But he has occasional fellowship   
   with Paul Saberton, another Pentecostal friend of mine, and still discusses   
   religious issues, especially the book of revelation ideas, which he is fond of   
   discussing. Chris works    
   for ComSuper in IT work, and has done so for many years. As far as I   
   understand he works well with 'UNIX' computer language, and is faithful to his   
   job and has remained employed because of it. He now owns his own home which he   
   is paying off, and is    
   probable somewhat settled in life. If I recall rightly they have another   
   brothed, called Adrian I think, who lives (or lived) in Bonython in   
   Tuggeranong. They also lived here in Macarthur for a while in younger years,   
   up in upper Macarthur. They possibly    
   lived in this suburb while we lived here in the very early 1990s, but I don't   
   know for sure, as when I started attending Potters House in 1995 he lived in   
   Greenhaven Court in Hughes in a flat. I also lived in Greenhaven court from   
   1998 to 2000 and saw    
   Chris a little bit to start with before he moved to Belconnen. Chris dated an   
   asian lady called 'Nim' for a while, but it didn't work out. Then he married   
   another asian lady called 'Ann' for a while, but that ended in divorce   
   eventually. Ann owned a Silk    
   supplies store in Gold Creek in North Canberra for a while which Chris helped   
   her established, but unfortunately it didn't last because it was difficult to   
   make a profit with the new business. Chris got involved with music for a   
   while, I think it was    
   with Nim, and he was playing the Keyboard. Obviously Chris has his own PC, and   
   has computer games of his own (I recall a spiderman PC game he owned), and he   
   his tech savvy. Chris and I have had many religious discussions over the   
   years, sometimes heated,    
   but we usually find grace with each other and have remained friends. We both   
   see Rob Preston from time to time, another Potters House survivor, and we have   
   gone off as a group to see movies occasionally. I remember we saw 'Payback' in   
   Civic in Canberra    
   once as a group, but I didn't end up watching it, as I went off on some of my   
   philosophizing, which I was doing a lot of at that time if life. Me, Rob and   
   Chris once spent some time at Rob's farmland up in Gunning territory north of   
   Canberra, where we    
   stayed the night in this tiny little shack, and bummed around the land, and   
   had fried bacon and eggs for breakfast. We were just being blokes, and I   
   remember Chris telling a lot of jokes, even dirty ones. Chris has a great   
   sense of humour, and is a cool    
   cat. He is very close with his twin brother Brenton, and they chat with each   
   other often. Brenton works as a painter, and is somewhere up north Australia   
   these days, especially as he likes the warmer weather. I have suggested Chris   
   write some things on    
   fiction and religion occasionally but he has declined - he's too ruddy lazy he   
   tells me to bother with things like that. It's a pity - I would like to read   
   what he has to say on a lot of issues. Chris is heterosexual, thinks   
   homosexuality is an    
   abomination to the Lord, and is at the 'Right Wing ultra-conservative' side of   
   religion. This doesn't bother me, as I have a degree of that attitude myself,   
   but he is a tolerant enough person in his societal interactions, and gets   
   along with the world    
   well enough. Chris is easy enough to talk to, and while he has deep   
   convictions on religious beliefs his personal manner is somewhat laid back. He   
   is responsible and clean in his living standards, and I remember his house was   
   always well run and taken    
   proper care of. He dresses somewhat casually like myself at times, but he is   
   always well presentable. Chris probably doesn't believe in the Trinity   
   anymore, and might be close to Paul Saberton's 'Father and Son' teaching on   
   the nature of God and Jesus,    
   so I guess you might call him something of a 'Unitarian' Christian. He   
   believes the Roman Catholic Church is essentially the 'Whore Babylon' from the   
   book of Revelation, which is a common view in Pentecostal Christianity, but,   
   as I said, it doesn't    
   affect him from being friendly and courteous with all members of society for   
   the most part. I think he has a good witness in this respect. Chris is not   
   overly concerned with sports and things like that, he likes music a bit, and   
   went and saw Belinda    
   Carlisle open for a sporting even with her songs once but didn't bother   
   staying for the game. He believes Armageddon is just around the corner, and   
   thinks the world is sinking down into sin. But he continues on with his   
   regular life, and doesn't go off    
   and hide away in a 'Rapture Ready Cult community'. Chris has a calm demeanour,   
   enjoys his life in Canberra by the looks of it, and is an ordinary fella - and   
   an extraordinary one. He's a good friend.
