Speakers’ Corner
On October 14th, 1855, a carpenter set up a soapbox in Hyde Park, near Marble Arch in London, and made a speech to onlookers complaining abut high food prices. Thus was born the tradition that became known as Speakers’ Corner, the place where free speech is exercised by anyone who wishes to.
166 years later the tradition carries on – looking forward today to supporting Christians on their soapboxes and engaging in some one-to-one evangelism
