Bro. Lew in the News
Articles about Islington Street Pastors appeared in two local newspapers this week: the Islington Tribune and Islington Gazette. Both featured Carol, the eldest Street Pastor on our team. The Tribune article also includes an interview with yours truley. Although the printed newspaper included my photo with the police superintendant, I wasn't worthy of the online version for some reason. But you've already seen the photo anyway. NOTE: The Gazette website was not up to date when I sent this newsletter but keep checking back if you would like to see a photo of Carol in uniform as it appeared in the printed edition.
Next week I'll be attending the National Street Pastors Convention which includes a reception at Parliament. Our next night out on "patrol" will be Friday, March 20th.
