Yesterday and Today

Eddie and Corky at the Met Tab

The Metropolitan Tabernacle is on Elephant and Castle (Londoners never refer to it as Castle and Elephant). So wouldn't it make more sense to have the elephant on top of a castle?

Corky was excited about being in London. It was his seven hundred and thirty second visit to the Tabernacle.

This is the inside of the Tabernacle. A man by the name of Andy Jones politely kept visitors from entering the church building because Sunday School was being taught in almost every room. After striking up a friendship, and convincing him how much Spurgeon meant to me, he had his son unlock the doors for me. (God's mercy)

This is the pulpit in the Metropolitan Tabernacle with a very thankful Texan behind it. (God's grace)

The Best Part of London

By far, the biggest thrill for me this summer was visiting the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. Because of the kindness of one Andy Jones, a long-time member of the Met Tab, I was allowed to stand behind the pulpit.

is located, click here!

...and note what they say about it:

"Widely tipped as one of the

ugliest buildings ever created in the UK,

the rotting red monstrosity dominating

this scene in the Shopping Centre."

Note that the Metropolitan Tabernacle

is now referred to as "The Tab".

Baskin-Robbin

London is "baskin" in its modernism and "robbin" its people of a rich heritage. Most Londoners don't even know who Spurgeon was...and FYI, anyone visiting London can go to the General Resister Office and ask to see the original copies of C.H. Spurgeon's entry of marriage and the certified copy of his entry of death papers. (no joke)
