....train to Paddington, with a group from the Evangelium conference, still talking about St John Paul the Great, and various current evangelistic efforts in Britain, and more...and more...
Vast crowds at Paddington, pouring off the trains and into the Tube etc, so I decided to walk instead. Hyde Park used to be famous for Speakers' Corner, where anyone could stand and excercise the right of free speech....long ago I used to be a regular speaker there, That was back in the 1970s. It's all so different now. It felt strange as an English woman walking across, wearing a casual summer outfit, the evening breeze in my hair...I was an oddity. All around and across the stretches of the lawns were groups and groups of Islamic ladies all havily veiled and in black, drinking tea and chatting, the younger ones all on mobile phones...most were fully masked although a few had their faces showing and wore full islamic dress but with coloured veils or scarves. Children ran about and further over were groups of Islamic men chatting. London, 2015.
