The photo shows John with Joy Bingham, Michael Crofts and Janet High all of the River of Life Church, and Rory Paget-Wilkes (nearest the camera). Rory, who addressed the Council of Lymington Churches Together on Tuesday, is from Green Pastures, a non-denominational Christian Community Benefit Society which started in Stockport in 1999 but now is spreading rapidly throughout the country. It has already provided accommodation for more than a thousand previously homeless people. It is largely funded through the housing benefits of its tenants, but is supervised and administered by volunteers. For more information visit www.greenpastures.net

Aardvark, I did visit the Green Pastures website, and sure enough they're in partnership in Brighton and Hove with Friends First, who've been helping the homeless here for some years. See, the OLMSJ blog isn't just about lovely pictures and fine words! Thank you for the information.
Great coffee! and Great Company! A really encouraging time. I pray things get started in Lymington.
