In 1996 our late friend Tony Back-Adams wrote: “Regular meetings for worship need to be planted in various parts of [the UK]. Most Friends in Christ live isolated from others, often separated by long distances. But meetings have grown from just one Friend sitting down to worship, and if only more were prepared to do just that, if only once monthly, great things could begin to happen for Jesus…”
Since then Meetings for worship have been held in various places. Often these have only lasted as long as there have been a couple of Friends in a given area, until people move on. But when any enquirer gets in touch and asks where the nearest meeting is we often say “At thy house”.
On this page we hope to keep readers up-to-date with such meetings for waiting worship in the name of Jesus Christ that we do know of.
