The visit to the corner of Kellie-Jay Keen (also known as Posie Parker): Activist and founder of Standing for Women, always draws a crowd and fires up the misogynists in the park.
Highlight of the day, a very long conversation with a Moslem man called, Achmed. Rather than end the conversation when it was time for me to leave, he accompanied me all the way back to my car which was parked 1 mile away on the other side of the park.
Please pray that something that was shared will nudge him towards Christ.

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…

Venue: Norreys Church. Wokingham.
Time: 10.00am

More shenanigans at Speakers Corner today!
What do you do when you can’t answer an argument? Sensible people walk away, but one thug decided to punch and kick his opponent. The first hour of my time in the park was being a witness for Ish as the Police eventually arrived in the park and tried to sort things out. You would expect it to be straight forward, a number of witness willing to give a statement, video evidence from a number of sources and yet, the man from ‘the religion of peace’ is allowed to walk away!
The rest of the afternoon provided some good opportunities, the highlight being a particularly good discussion with Simeon and atheist, raised in a Christian family but turned his back on religion when he was 18. Look forward to chatting to him again sometime.
