and told me, in no uncertain terms, that Foundations 13, at The Hayes, Derbyshire \u2013 just six weeks
away \u2013 must be cancelled unless I wanted deaths on my hand. I was torn, as to cancel a God-inspired
conference after months of planning was not a happy prospect, yet the only alternative was to make
it an on-line, virtual conference. A virtual conference? Unthinkable! Many proposed Christian
celebrations and conferences were duly cancelled at the cost, in some cases, of over a million
pounds! Some were re-imagined online, usually as video of speakers and worship groups streamed
over Facebook or YouTube. If Foundations was going online, in my eyes, it had to be a Foundations
experience, otherwise I didn\u2019t see the point. The Grand Experiment was birthed \u2026<\/p>\n
