The only thing you can be certain of is that S.C. will not be dull – last weeks best debates were with an atheist, a Moslem, a Catholic and a group of Moslems!

“In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.” ― William Penn

A walk through speakers corner (Aug 1st) and a little montage of Bob, Kay & Hatun in action (from a while ago)!
Length: 8mins

After the madness of last Sunday, my body armour has arrived and I am ready to go again this week! Many of you know that Hatun Tash was viscously attached by a man with a knife and wounded in her head and arm, she seems to be ok and I expect she will be there as well!
I saw the man attacking her, I thought he was punching her and was unaware of his weapon, as you can see from the photos I was first in line to chase him off (not brave just stupid). A reminder that we never know what a ”what a day may bring.’

Pray for Hatun and her safety and add me to the list as we seek to share Good News with whoever we encounter.
