Images from London and India
 

It's taken me a number of days to recover from Jet lag and reaction to Lariam, so I am ready to start posting pictures from our vacation/missions trip.

We vacationed in London (4 days) and did missions/ministry in India (6 days).

I will post pics with descriptions over the next couple of days. It seems in the past that many of you have enjoyed when I do this, so we will continue the tradition.

Walking to eat at a nice Thai Eatery. 35 pounds (70 USD) for dinner, London is expensive.

Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, I believe every Sunday anyone can get up and have his/her say, a crowd has gathered around this Moslem preacher, from the 2x's we went by I would say he spoke for at least 3 hours

Harrod's, we didn't bother to shop, everything was twice the price, so we just avoided the temptation altogether.

London Taxi, very pricey, took a ride to church Sunday night, went about 4-5 miles, cost 24 USD

Re: Images from London and India
 

Neat pics!

Yes Speakers Corner is an old tradition.
London's parks are at a premium (very few) & the tradition is you can speak there on whatever subject you like.

We have a speakers corner at 5 locations in Vancouver where for a Loonie one can go and talk about anything for a minute, it takes a video of it, and it will be broadcast on a local TV Channel.

The Church we went to near Langham Place, All Souls Church, pastored at one time by the esteemed Evangelical John Stott preacher, author of the famous "Cross of Christ"

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s...DSCF1531-1.jpg

The Church was empty at 5:45, but by the time service rolled around at 6:30 it was packed. Very young audience, good sign to see a evangelical conservative church filled in Pluralistic London. I afraid that unless there is tremendous revival the Moslems will take it over, they are everywhere and because of the high birthrate and zeal it is a matter of time.

Jeanie thought this was funny, we say it as we walked through SOHO

Re: Images from London and India
 

That probably was the oldest Church Building you were in?

Re: Images from London and India
 

They have signs like this in Vancouver.
