Madness in the park as Sunni and Shia Moslems debated and argued and ended up throwing bottles at each other, then wound up from that incident a Moslem man punched a Christian preacher and stole some of his property, he ran but managed to trip up and fall, this allowed the police to catch up with him but as they tried to arrest him his friends decided to join in and help him, all-in-all 15minutes of madness! Crédit to the police who on this occasion responded sensibly, quickly and efficiently.
Shortly afterwards the heavens opened, and it rained, I mean torrential rain, despite a good soaking Chris & myself still had a good conversation with a Moslem man under a small umbrella, he left with a soggy John’s gospel.
After about 30mins the sun came out and we all went back to our usual arguments, conversations, and debates

When I arrived a ‘Let Women Speak’ event was dominating the corner with black balloons and a large group of women in niqabs (veil for the face), only these niqabs contained the message, ‘free your face.’ The unveiling was led by the fearless British campaigner Kellie-Jay Kee (aka Poise Parker) who in full voice led a very dramatic protest.
The park was roasting, all the regulars were hunting out shade under the tress and as we charred we watched a mass of people constantly flow past us heading for the BST concert area & stage nearby.
The usual mixture of conversations, but most of my time (3 hours) was spent in one long conversation talking to one Moslem man called, Husayn.
Pray for him, he was blinded by the usual Dawah script (in Islam, Dawah is evangelism), he said he would go away and look again at his many badly researched arguments (my summary not his – lol).

After a great weekend on the water, it is good to be back on dry ground!

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 today at New Farm Chapel. Alresford SO24 9QH.
Time:10.30am
Subject: Why Being Thankful Matters
Bible passage: Psalm 9
