“The two words ‘information’ and ‘communication’ are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.”
– Sydney J. Harris

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.

‘Hot Potato’ Lunchtime Event

A chance to share the good news of Jesus at ‘Hot Potato’ a lunchtime event at Swanfield Chapel. Chichester. West Susssex.

This week, one theme: for three very different talks

Talk: Be on the winning team! Jesus calls us to ‘follow him.’

Believe it or not, British football itself was shaped in the 19th century by a movement called ‘Muscular Christianity’ encouraging the game for its social and physical benefits. And to win young men for the church.

Churches and Sunday schools founded some of today’s premier league clubs like Everton (St Domingo’s Methodist Church), Manchester City (St. Mark’s Anglican Church), Southampton (St Mary’s) and Celtic (Catholic St. Mary’s Church Hall, Glasgow)”.

Hymns like Abide with Me, Swing low sweet chariot and When the saints go marching in are still a traditional part of the British football scene.

Football, like many other parts of European life, has been shaped by gospel truth more than we realise.

Podcast Recrding

Podcast recording today at 2pm. Talking with Counties CEO Martin Erwin, with Penny Curley and Tim Cracknell as we discuss our chapter in the Counties book, ‘Making Jesus Known.’

The programme to be aired on TWR and we will post a link to these recordings when it is broadcast.

Making Jesus Known Today and Tomorrow

Making Jesus Known Today and Tomorrow is born of the belief that Britain and Ireland need the gospel of Christ as much today as ever, if not more so.

The book focuses on how this unchanging gospel can be presented to greatest effect in the twenty-first century in a wide variety of contexts. Above all, it intends to be practical-to help all Christians, and all local congregations, to see people of all ages converted and growing themselves as effective disciple-making Christians.

The book is a project of Counties, an organisation which came into being 125 years ago, to support local evangelists who at the time were seeing remarkable success in planting local congregations across England and Wales. Today, it supports over forty evangelists, encourages local churches in evangelism, and engages in church planting.

A number of today’s Counties Evangelists are contributors to the book, together with Martin Erwin (CEO, Counties) and Stephen McQuoid (a trustee of Counties and General Director of GLO Europe, a similar association promoting the mission of the gospel in wider Europe).
