David is a Methodist Local Preacher and former Visitor Services Assistant at Methodist Central Hall.  This booklet is an ideal gift for a teenager or an adult who has rejected Church, a sceptical friend, or as a basis for a study group with believers and searchers.  It allows any Christian, ordained or not, a vehicle to engage with people who think faith of any sort is nonsense.  It does this by going beyond other books on exploring matters of faith…it starts at the very beginning!

During 2005, Methodist Central Hall Westminster underwent a major programme of refurbishment.  Part of the programme involved modernizing the stage in the Great Hall.  Some of the original oak flooring has been removed and has been made into souvenir crosses by Jonathan Hemingray, Sculptor of Derby.  Many famous people have trodden the boards since the original stage was constructed in 1912, including King George VI, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Mahatma Gandhi, Kruschev, Gromyko and Bulganin, Mikhail Gorbachev and many Methodist Presidents of Conference.  The Inaugural Session of the United Nations Assembly was also held at Central Hall in 1946.

These limited edition souvenirs are now available.
