Nicky Gumbel welcomes Prince Charles
The Alpha course and Holy Trinity Brompton have caught Prince Charles’ attention. The Prince of Wales visited St. Paul’s Onslow Square last month.
The Prince meet staff and students of the country’s newest and fastest-growing Anglican theological college, birthed from Holy Trininty Brompton, called St Mellitus College, London.
Here is a portion of his speech,
‘I have enjoyed enormously hearing about your remarkable work in so many different areas, whether it is on the environmental front or with the youth or regenerating entire areas of London and elsewhere, or bringing churches back to life that have been derelict and redundant. I think that is truly wonderful and inspiring.
‘The fact that you are able to plant churches and help encourage congregations in some of these previously redundant, unused churches is enormously encouraging and I greatly admire Nicky Gumbel (and indeed his son – I’m so glad it is hereditary, this) for the work they are doing and for the work they are inspiring among so many of you.
‘I greatly admire the work that is being done here and I do look forward to seeing even more effect from what the ordinands and those who are ordained from here can achieve in different parts of the country. It is a wonderful example of what can be done and I can only salute the Bishop and all those here in the diocese of London for leading the way in this whole area. I hope you have great success in the future.’
