Doing business in Woking

Knaphill welcomes Iranian Christians (below)

I'd never been to Woking before - nor to Knaphill where the lively Methodist Church gave me a warm welcome and much to see and do!

It was a pleasant surprise to find that my host for the weekend was Peter Milne - he and I had been members of the Free Church Society at Sheffield University in the 70's and hadn't seen each other since then.

Peter is a banker and it was appropriate that a couple of my engagements involved discussions about business ethics and the current economic situation - a breakfast for the Woking Circuit at the splendid art gallery the Lightbox, and a conference at Bexleyheath organised by workplace chaplain Malcolm Cooper.

Knaphill church is taking steps to welcome an Iranian Christian fellowship - the Surrey Iranian Church - and we shared in a party organised by that group.

As well as preaching on the Sunday morning I was able to attend a concert given by local children on the Saturday evening - it was so good so see them taking their first steps in performance.
