Speakers Corner, Hyde Park. London.

Wet, wet, wet all the way to London and then the sun came out for a couple of hours before the rain returned and wet, wet, wet all the way home!
Great to bump into Jamie Broadey who was at the Corner for an hour.
Best conversation of the day was my first one, as I arrived in the Park, I saw Gabriel (Ex-Moslem form Ethiopia) surrounded by about 8 men and decided to give him some support, soon the group evaporated, and we were left to have a useful chat with a Moslem man from Dubai called Sultan. He took a John’s gospel, please pray that he will read it!

Evangelism at Speakers Corner.

“Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.” – Robert Frost

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.

Preaching this morning at West End Chapel.

Where: St Annes Grove, Fareham PO14 1JX
Time: 10.00am
Bible Passage: Ephesians chapter 4 verses 17-32
Title: ‘Putting off the old’

‘BodyBuilders’ Prayer & Plan (better late than never, we have already had 2 events!).
Pizza for those arriving early and need feeding and lots of ideas from those who come later on!

‘Body Builders’ is an inter-Church youth event for anyone aged 8 to 15 years.
The evening consists of ice-breakers (games & activities), World Vision, DVD’s, Tuck Shop and a short talk.

With the park closed because of Storm Bert, those who turned up to SC had to stand on the pavement at the wider Marble Arch entrance.

• Conversation #1: argument
• Conversation #2: argument
• Conversation #3: argument
• Conversation #4: argument
• Conversation #5: brilliant!

A real thrill to have a long talk with Haashim and to finish the conversation by reading and explaining Isaiah chapter 53. He has promised to go back home and reread the chapter and contact me if he has any questions.
About 7.00pm the rain fell heavily and those of us who are wise headed home!

All closed because of Storm Bert – not sure why the whole park needs closing!
Looks like it’s outside the main gates for some discussion, chat & a jolly good argument!
Almost at Speakers corner, we will try again next week
