The evening happened in Streatham and featured E.Tizz, New Direction Crew and The Rescued.  DJ Big T kicked off the evening with a slamming set while Franco worked the crowd with his magic.  Around 120 people came to hear the music including MOBO award winning artist, Jahaziel.  Si ended the evening by explaining John 3:16 and the good news of Jesus.

We have had a huge amount of interest in the evening, which is happening tomorrow (18th) at 8pm in St Georges Medical School.  We have therefore booked an extra lecture theatre, in addition to the the Monckton Lecture Theatre, with a live video link-up as an overflow.  However, if you want to be sure of a place, do come early.  Doors open at 7.30pm.  John Lennox will be speaking on ‘Has Science Buried God?’ and will be taking our questions afterwards.

Directions and more information about the night, can be found here. Look out for the stewards with the lime green T-Shirts to direct you.

Orthodox Christians believe in the Trinity, the teaching that there is one eternal being of God -indivisible, infinite. This one being of God is shared by three co-equal, co-eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.

Muslims reject this view, arguing that it results in worshiping someone other than Allah by associating partners with him.

James White and Abdullah al Andalusi conducted a formal, moderated debate on the doctrine of the Trinity at 8:00pm on 22nd February at Trinity Road Chapel in Wandsworth Common, London.
