window display

I took some flyers about the event on Freedom Day to Wesley Owen today becauses Dave had agreed to put them in customers' bags which is great. They've got a good display there with lots of resources which will go into the window for two weeks during the run up. As well as the campaign for Stop the Traffik, there's info about the film, Amazing Grace which comes out on March 23. Dave gave me a freebie DVD with the trailer, some clips and other bits and pieces on it (I'm not sure if that's just because I'm a good customer?!)

Anyway part of the trailer has the Clapham Sect meeting together and the line spoken to Wilberforce was...

"We understand you're having difficulty choosing whether to do the work of God or the work of a political activist. We humbly suggest you can do both."

That challenged me as did Rev David Isherwood who is minister at the church where this group were based who said that Jesus was a political activist and as Christians we need to be involved and know how to use the politics of the country in which we live...
