Know any cool churches in England? I was asked by a friend of mine-Ken at UMM, so I told him about a speaker that taught recently at my local church. His name is Keith Hazell of Life Links International, who has a very strong Enlish accent and currently resides in Canada. I told him that he'll probably be a good resource to finding this answer to this question. I searched through the ministry's website, and found this....

Over the Christmas holidays of 2004, I got an e-mail guest who visited my personal testimony site. He was a Filipino studying at a Bible College in London, England.
I met Susan (2/12/07) and decided to re"search" about this city... "In 1977 the town was visited by boxer Mohammed Ali, whose wedding was blessed in the local mosque. The visit has since been the subject of a BBC documentary. Ali visited the town after receiving an invitation from a local boys' boxing club[1]."
She actually is from India, but went to school here for post graduate school.
Dream on Buckingham"
Recently I had a dream that was audible-"Buckingham Lake/Palace, which I wrote on my dream site. I then thoughtfully and started praying for the 15 sailors that was recently abducted by Iran along their coastal waters...
Iran �to try Britons for espionage� (March 25th of 07') on timesonline " FIFTEEN British sailors and marines arrested by Iran�s Revolutionary Guards off the coast of Iraq may be charged with spying.
A website run by associates of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, reported last night that the Britons would be put before a court and indicted.
Referring to them as �insurgents�, the site concluded: �If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.�
The warning followed claims by Iranian officials that the British navy personnel had been taken to Tehran, the capital, to explain their �aggressive action� in entering Iranian waters. British officials insist the servicemen were in Iraqi waters when they were held.
The penalty for espionage in Iran is death. However, similar accusations of spying were made when eight British servicemen were detained in the same area in 2004. They were paraded blindfolded on television but did not appear in court and were freed after three nights in detention.
Iranian student groups called yesterday for the 15 detainees to be held until US forces released five Revolutionary Guards captured in Iraq earlier this year.
Al-Sharq al-Awsat, a Saudi-owned newspaper based in London, quoted an Iranian military source as saying that the aim was to trade the Royal Marines and sailors for these Guards.
The claim was backed by other sources in Tehran. �As soon as the corps�s five members are released, the Britons can go home,� said one source close to the Guards.
He said the tactic had been approved by Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran�s supreme leader, who warned last week that Tehran would take �illegal actions� if necessary to maintain its right to develop a nuclear programme.
Iran denounced a tightening of sanctions which the United Nations security council was expected to agree last night in protest at Tehran�s insistence on enriching uranium that could be used for nuclear weapons.
Lord Triesman, the Foreign Office minister, met the Iranian ambassador in London yesterday to demand that consular staff be allowed access to the Britons, one of whom is a woman. His intervention came as a senior Iranian general alleged that the Britons had confessed under interrogation to �aggression into Iran�s waters�.
Intelligence sources said any advance order for the arrests was likely to have come from Major-General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards.
Subhi Sadek, the Guards� weekly newspaper, warned last weekend that the force had �the ability to capture a bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers and feed them to our fighting cocks�.
Safavi is known to be furious about the recent defections to the West of three senior Guards officers, including a general, and the effect of UN sanctions on his own finances.
A senior Iraqi officer appeared to back Tehran�s claim that the British had entered Iranian waters. �We were informed by Iraqi fishermen after they had returned from sea that there were British gunboats in an area that is out of Iraqi control,� said Brigadier-General Hakim Jassim, who is in charge of Iraq�s territorial waters. �We don�t know why they were there.�
Admiral Sir Alan West, the former head of the Royal Navy, dismissed suggestions that the British boats might have been in Iranian waters. West, who was first sea lord when the previous arrests took place in June 2004, said satellite tracking systems had shown then that the Iranians were lying and the same was certain to be true now."
Biography: C.S. Lewis: The Creator of Narnia, from fact monster
Chronology of C.S. Lewis' Life, from the foundation
1931-"Lewis became a Christian: One evening in September, Lewis had a long talk on Christianity with J.R.R. Tolkien (a devout Roman Catholic) and Hugo Dyson. (The summary of that discussion is recounted for Arthur Greeves in They Stand Together.) That evening's discussion was important in bringing about the following day's event that Lewis recorded in Surprised by Joy: "When we [Warnie and Jack] set out [by motorcycle to the Whipsnade Zoo] I did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did."
-1944-"On seven consecutive Tuesdays, from February 22 to April 4 at 10:15 to 10:30 p.m., Lewis gave the pre-recorded talks known as "Beyond Personality." Taken together, all of Lewis' BBC radio broadcast talks were eventually published under the title Mere Christianity. From November 10, 1944 to April 14, 1945, The Great Divorce was published in weekly installments in The Guardian. (The Guardian was a religious newspaper that ceased publication in 1951; it had no connection with the Manchester Guardian.)"

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye " ROCK:

Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home

Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone
(Chorus)
And now after all
My searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I'm gonna call it home

Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back

"LONDON, UK (ANS) -- More than 100 Christians from all denominations and traditions are gathering for seven nights in Croydon, South London, to bring revival to the British capital city....
The prayer nights that conclude this week mark the launch of Global Day of Prayer London 2009 and will be followed by six more over the next two weeks in different regions across London and Essex. ..
Preparing for revival
Pastor Oloyede told the gathering to prepare for revival by living out 2 Chronicles 7.14.
“The Lord says it is time for us to come together and he is saying if my people do my bit then I will hear, I will forgive their sin and heal their land. So let us do our bit and precipitate revival in London.”
The Global Day of Prayer stresses unity across the denominations and in the UK brings together the Church of England, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic Churches.
"We want to paint a picture of collaboration, of unity, of Kingdom that has never been seen before in London” said Pastor Oloyede. "It is time that we said the walls of partition, of denomination, of church, of culture, creed, color and class came down." ...
God Save the Queen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "..Lyrics in the United Kingdom
The phrase "God Save the King" is much older than the song, appearing, for instance, several times in the King James Bible.[12] Scholes says that as early as 1545 "God Save the King" was a watchword of the Royal Navy, with the response being "Long to reign over us".[13][14] He also notes that the prayer read in churches on anniversaries of the Gunpowder Plot includes words which might have formed part of the basis for the second verse "Scatter our enemies... assuage their malice and confound their devices".."
"God Save the Queen (standard version)
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.
When the monarch of the time is male, "Queen", and all female pronouns are replaced with "King" and male pronouns. In addition, the lyrics of the 3rd verse are modified slightly to read, "With heart and voice to sing, God save the King"."

by J. Gilchrist Lawson, Wholesome Words Christian Biography Resources "Muller began his labors in Bristol in 1832, as co-pastor with his friend Mr. Craik, who had been called to that city. Without salaries or rented pews their labors were greatly blessed at Gideon and Bethesda Chapels. The membership more than quadrupled in numbers in a short time. Ten days after the opening of Bethesda there was such a crowd of persons inquiring the way of salvation that it took four hours to minister to them. Subsequently Gideon Chapel was relinquished, and in the course of time two neighboring chapels were secured. These churches, though calling themselves non-sectarian, were usually classed with the people commonly known as "Plymouth Brethren." Muller continued to preach to them as long as he lived, even after he began his great work for the orphans. At the time of his death he had a congregation of about two thousand persons at Bethesda Chapel.
In 1834 Mr. Muller started the Scripture Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad. Its object was to aid Christian day-schools, to assist missionaries, and to circulate the Scriptures. This institution, without worldly patronage, without asking anyone for help, without contracting debts; without committees, subscribers, or memberships; but through faith in the Lord alone, had obtained and disbursed no less a sum than �1,500,000 ($7,500,000) at the time of Mr. Muller's death. The bulk of this was expended for the orphanage. At the time of Mr. Muller's death 122,000 persons had been taught in the schools supported by these funds; and about 282,000 Bibles and 1,500,000 Testaments had been distributed by means of the same fund. Also 112,000,000 religious books, pamphlets and tracts had been circulated; missionaries had been aided in all parts of the world; and no less than ten thousand orphans had been cared for by means of this same fund."

Queen Elizabeth and the Church "When Elizabeth became Queen in the November of 1558, it was widely believed that she would restore the Protestant faith in England. Mary's persecution of Protestants had done much damage to the standing of Catholicism in England, and the number of Protestants in the country was steadily increasing. Although Elizabeth had adhered to the Catholic faith during her sister's reign, she had been raised a Protestant, and was committed to that faith. Elizabeth's religious views were remarkably tolerant for the age in which she lived. She believed sincerely in her own faith, but she also believed in religious toleration, and that Catholics and Protestants were both part of the same faith. "There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith" she exclaimed later in her reign, "all else is a dispute over trifles." She also declared that she had "no desire to make windows into men's souls".

When she appeared on the Britain's Got Talent stage for the first time, the audience and the judges appeared apprehensive and judgmental of her frumpy appearance.[6] Upon finishing her song, she received a standing ovation from the live audience and unanimous praise from the judges.[7] She has been dubbed "The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell".[1] Cowell is reported to be setting up a contract with Boyle with his Syco Music company label, a subsidiary of Sony Music.[8]
The contrast between the audience's first impression of her when she appeared on stage compared to the ovation she received afterwards triggered global interest. Articles about her appeared in newspapers worldwide, while the numbers who watched videos of her audition have set an online record.[9] Within nine days of her televised debut, videos of her audition, subsequent interviews of her, and her 1999 rendition of "Cry Me a River" had been viewed a combined total of over 100 million times on the Internet" Church Worker Wows Brit Talent Judges

Susan Boyle may not look like a typical reality show contestant, but the unemployed church volunteer is now known around the world for her recent unexpected performance.
The 47-year-old from Scotland appeared April 11 on the first episode of reality show series Britain's Got Talent.
American Idol's Simon Cowell is a judge on the show and when Boyle walked onto the audition stage, he didn't seem to have high expectations.
Sarcastically, he asked where she was from, how old she was and what she dreams of becoming. The crowd laughed after she revealed her age and said her dream was to be a professional singer.
But the laughing quickly turned to cheering when she started singing. Click here to watch all of Boyle's performance.
Boyle's rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables has made her the front runner to win Britain's Got Talent.
Cowell says he's even lining up a record deal for her.
Before the audition, Boyle said she did most of her singing in her church choir.

As the Man of God held her hands, He infused the healing anointing into her body as she sat on the wheelchair. He also touched her chest and commanded strength into her body.
The Man of God commanded the devil to leave her, then assisting her to her feet. He then blew a dose of the anointing on her, which perfected every part of her body.
Immediately, the disease that had caused her excruciating pains and her inability to walk, left her body completely. She started to take her first coordinated steps, wheeling out the chair in which she was wheeled. It was really a sight to behold.
