LORD, DO IT AGAIN #1

The Lord has worked in mighty ways in Angel, Islington in the past. This regular feature highlighting some of the spiritual heritage of our area is intended to prompt Christians to pray, "Lord, do it again."

While the Metropolitan Tabernacle was being refurbished, the Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington (now the Business Design Centre) was hired on a weekly basis for services featuring the preaching of C.H. Spurgeon. Some doubted the wisdom of the move as Angel was several miles from the tabernacle's Elephant and Castle location and the Agricultural Hall was three times its size. Nevertheless, in a building that seated fifteen thousand, twenty thousand or more came week after week to hear the messages Spurgeon preached. Countless lives in Angel, Islington and beyond were changed eternally. Lord, do it again.
