Today @ Speakers Corner
It was great today to enjoy the company of Billy Graham (I kid you not!), Billy is 93 years old and has lost none of his enthusiasm of sharing the gospel (Billy is a former open-air missioner), also in the photo is my Ethiopian brother Gabriel.
A usual day at Speakers Corner, the sun shone, the crowds came and amongst the shenanigans, sensible conversations and arguments took place.
Two highlights today, #1: a good chat with Husain from Saudi Arabia, former Muslim now agnostic seeking the truth. #2: a long chat with a Kurdish man now living in the UK, he is from the Alevi* minorities and these are seen as ‘questionable’ by many other Muslims.
* Alevism (/æˈlɛvɪzəm/; Turkish: Alevilik; Kurdish: Elewîtî is a syncretic heterodox Islamic tradition, whose adherents follow the mystical Islamic teachings of Haji Bektash Veli, who taught the teachings of the Twelve Imams,
