Our week with the WHM emerging generations team has come to an end. Pat and Jen are staying with us until Saturday, but I returned to work at Bethel this morning. John and Kathy leave tomorrow morning with two of their daughters.
And now the big news...It looks like God is calling us to focus on an area just north of the center of London. Camden Town is a busy market center and hub of life for many people on the fringes of mainstream culture. Islington is two miles east, with lots of young professionals and creatives; and in between is Kings Cross, an area undergoing massive redevelopment. While this is still a sizeable area, knowing that we will focus on Camden/Islington feels a lot more concrete than London as an entire city.
We ended our time together yesterday at Tinderbox on Upper Street in Islington. Team leader John gave all of us rings from Camden market to mark this significant decision in our lives, and then read a passage from The Return of the King to spark our imaginations. And so it begins...

Dan,
What a fine end to your week. The decision seems perfect. Now we've got to go to a philosophy night at the Prince Abert, Elia Street. Maybe preceeded by The Eagle near Old Street?
For research,
Jeremy
How exciting to have a clear vision for the beginning of the church plant. Love the picture of the ring.
Love,
Mom
"But they were all of them deceived..."
Be wary of ring dispensing ceremonies--that's what I learned from Lord of the Rings!
I look forward to hearing how your work develops, Dan.
