'It was a chance conversation - or was it just chance?'

'It was a chance conversation - or was it just chance?'

Our journey started in an Anglican church in Brixton, south London. The vicar, Revd Leslie Mannering, was talking with one of the staff at the church about the spiritual needs of the church. They were considering the same question that many churches ask towards the end of the year: is there anything further that might be done to "get a move on" during the New Year?'

The course of their prayer and conversation is illustrated in the parish magazine from December 1921:

"We are so apt to be immersed in organisations, committees and plans, that we become entangled in our own machinery. Even if the machinery is running smoothly and well, there is a danger of it being - just machinery. It is the dynamic of personal religion that really moves men and things. We need to get back to the fundamentals of our faith."
