More shenanigans at Speakers Corner today!
What do you do when you can’t answer an argument? Sensible people walk away, but one thug decided to punch and kick his opponent. The first hour of my time in the park was being a witness for Ish as the Police eventually arrived in the park and tried to sort things out. You would expect it to be straight forward, a number of witness willing to give a statement, video evidence from a number of sources and yet, the man from ‘the religion of peace’ is allowed to walk away!
The rest of the afternoon provided some good opportunities, the highlight being a particularly good discussion with Simeon and atheist, raised in a Christian family but turned his back on religion when he was 18. Look forward to chatting to him again sometime.

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.

Often described as the ultimate comfort food, you have to enjoy a bowl or two of Chili con Carne, Hot and spicy (or not so hot if you prefer it that way). Thanks to Penny & Bertie for cooking up the grub – top marks!
Thanks also to Joseph Michael who shared his life story of how he came to faith in Jesus Christ and what that means day by day.

NEXT EVENT:
BBQ in the woods!
Date: May 12th
Guest Speaker Sam Hudson.

‘The Net’ is usually held on the second Tuesday of the month from 8.00pm to 10.00pm.
It is an inter-church event for men.

Despite the fact the hairdressers turned up and ‘stole away’ a number of our regulars, we still had a good crowd and three members of staff. Always good to share the greatest message of all – the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ.

A service for the residents of Hawthorne Court. Southampton.

The order of service will be:
Hymn: The old rugged cross
Prayer.
Collective Prayer: The Lord’s Prayer (traditional).
Short Talk 1:
Action Song : 123, Jesus is alive!
Short talk #2:
Hymn: Thine be the glory
Closing Prayer.
Hawthorne Court specialises in dementia care.

Must be the sunshine that attracted them back! Who is the ‘them’? The ‘them’ are people (at least 5 Christians & 2 Jewish men: Joseph & Benjamin), who used to be regulars at the Corner but for a variety of reasons have not been around for several years.
Good conversations today, the best being with Google translate, I mean of course using GT to talk to a Moslem man called Amat from Saudi Arabia, his English was limited and my Arabic is….non-existent. Hoping something got through!
