Sorted: power struggle
November 9 saw 1,200 young people and
youth
leaders pour
into Westminster
Chapel for ‘Sorted 2013’.
This annual one-day conference, which by
now is a fixture for many of the
capital’s youth groups, sought
to
challenge
and
encourage
those present. Over three sessions some of the ‘whackier’
chapters
of
Daniel
were
explained
to
see what
they
meant
for young people,
in
London,
in 2013. Babylon
seemed a world away at
the start of the day, but as Jonty
Allcock, pastor at Bushy Hill
Park Community Church, unpacked these
passages, their crucial relevance became clear.
Five years in the courts
Christian Concern (which started life as
Christian Concern For Our Nation) has
been defending the rights of Christians in
our country for five years now. With that in
mind, June 24 saw over 300 people gather
at the Emmanuel Centre, Westminster, for a
service of celebration.
A welcome by Bishop Nazir-Ali opened
the evening, followed by lively worship, after
which there was a series of testimonies by key
leaders of Christian Concern (CC), such as
Andrea Williams and Paul Diamond. Paul’s
time on the stage was particularly notable as
he introduced many of the cases CC had
dealt with over the years. After a number of
Bible readings, Abe Omooda preached.
