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

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.
