As Pawan Mishrav said, “Let’s chew on the chewables!” – One to One evangelism at Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

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 spead their message or to have fun.

My first since the restrictive days of Covid.
In BC (Before Covid) Coffee Mornings used to be regular events in my diary, but alas no more. So I am looking forward to speaking at this one run by Alverstoke Evangelical Church, Gosport in the building of Solent Evangelical Church.
My talk, ‘Christmas in three words.’
