Big Questions: A conversation with Nicky Gumbel
Alpha The new now
We arrived in London on May 1 and used the time between then and May 2 to sleep and adjust to a seven hour change. The first day was rather relaxed and the sessions were at Holy Trinity Brompton. It was good to be back. There were 1600 Alpha leaders at the conference. There were almost 6500 delegates to the Leadership Conference.

Morning on Sunday, May 3
Experience HTB – worship service at HTB Onslow Square
This was time to experience a church service at HTB. We chose to worship at HTB Onslow Square.

5. HTB on Onslow Square
View of the interior of the church. Notice the benches on the balcony. No chairs necessary. Perhaps we could adopt the same sort of idea in our new building.

6. HTB on Onslow Square
Each church (there are four) at HTB has an area in the back devoted to families with small children and an area for the disabled

Canadian delegate reception at Church House on the grounds of HTB Brompton Road
Met the coordinators on Alpha Prison Ministry at the Edmonton Penitentary
Met Amy Croy, Alpha Youth Coach for Alberta
We had a wonderful meeting with some of the Canadian delegates. There were 240 in total. We had more delegates than the USA. Note the folks that we met. We may be approached by them to see if we would be interested in adopting an ex-offender. Amy Croy is available to help us with our youth Alpha. Note that her salary is paid for by the Diocese of Edmonton in the Anglican Church but she is encouraged to devote all her time to Youth Alpha.
