Photos of Our Pilgrimage to London










This is me (Rob) standing in the pulpit at Wesley's chapel.













This room is known as the powerhouse of Methodism where Wesley prayed daily.













This is the pulpit at St. Paul's Shadwell where Wesley purportedly preached his last sermon. This chuch is being refurbished and renewed by an influx of 100 HTB people and a pastor who was raised up from HTB and is now an Anglican priest. The church has an attendance of over 250. This is remarkable in a nation where average worship attendance is under 50.













This is Westminster Abbey. It holds the remains of some of the greatest Kings, Queens, Bishops, leaders, and people of British history. Some of the greatest authors in the English language are buried here.















This is a shot taken at Shakespeare's Globe Theater -- a recreation of the famed theater. We saw Measure for Measure. It was a great venue to experience one of Shakespeare's great comedies.

Could you believe Wesley's generic shoes (no right or left)? Did you make the pilgrimage to Aldersgate Street? I bet the motherland was beautiful this time of year. So glad you got to go.

Glad you got to go! Laura and I had a blast when we went. We would love to see more of your pictures. A few US facts to add to your info about the UK, the normative worship attendance in the US is 35-40 while the average is 80-90 (dependant on who you count).
