Great but exhausting time at the NACP (North Atlantic Polemics Conference)
With 300 delegates booked in and a ‘who’s who’ of Polemic speakers it was always going to be a full and informative few days.
So good to hear Bob, Chris & David from Speaker’s Corner, also Dr Jay Smith, Beth Peltola, Tim Dieppe (Christian Concern), Michael Jones (Inspiring Philosophy) and everyone’s favourite YouTube debater ‘God Logic’ (Avery Austin Jr).
Throw in a bit on networking and an opportunity to chat to people that I only have time to say hello to at Speakers Corner and you have a profitable few days.

Tomorrow as many Christians as possible are planning a Speakers Corner takeover, come and join us if you can (2.00pm to 6.00pm)

A couple of full days (Thursday & Saturday) attending an apologetics & polemics Conference.
Can’t give out any more details but very much looking forward to some gifted speakers and some well thought out content that will, ‘go down a storm,’ at places like Speakers Corner.

Plenty of people, plenty of arguments and plenty of good conversations today at Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.
American YouTuber ‘GodLogic’ was in the park, and he always draws a crowd and gets the crowd exited, he must have jaw ache tonight because he was going non-stop from the moment I arrived until I left. Many of his conversations were recorded and you watch them on YouTube (search ‘GodLogic’ speakers’ corner).
My best conversation of the day was with Joy (her English name), a lovely lady visiting from China, Joy is an atheist but wanted to know about the different faiths that people have in the park. Several long conversations later and Joy said she would read one of the gospels and also look up the story of Gladys Aylward* on YouTube.
Joy returns to China this week; please pray she will indeed check out Gladys and most of all Jesus.

*Gladys Aylward (1902–1970)
English missionary in China and Taiwan who worked to end the traditional Chinese practice of binding women’s feet, led a large group of orphans out of occupied China, and set up orphanages in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Conversations at Speakers Corner – a vocal competition in which the one who is catching his breath is called the listener.”

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.
