To the end of the Northern Line

A day that began with the school prayer meeting at St James's School ended at the Empress of India in the parish of Morden where I was down to give a talk at the men's curry night on 'What's good about Good Friday?' as part of the mission, Passion for Life.

This was something of a return fixture, as Morden Team Vicar, Les Wells, came to Bermondsey last month to speak at our men's breakfast.

At that event Les told how he delivered his fifth child on the living room floor. I was pleased to see that 'baby', now a strapping 20 year old, along with quite a few of his mates, among the 40 or so men who just about took up every seat at the Empress of India.

It was a really good evening and a really good time to share a bit of personal testimony and to talk about what is good about Good Friday, namely, the achievement of it, summed up in the words from the cross 'It is finished!'
