TEDDY BOYS HELP CHURCH
(Click on picture to take you to the video)
There is a lot of talk about new ideas to help churches, and in particular concern about young people (and men) leaving the church. The way we talk about it, you would think that this is a recent issue and that we have to come up with a solution.
But the great thing is that these issues have come around before, and there appears to be some great ideas that are well tried and tested. This Pathe Newsreel is fantastic - the history (50 years ago), the voice over and the posed shots all speak of a time gone by (Mind you, I think I would watch a current day news programme presented in this style).
There are some interesting other facts that come out. The new vicar stayed at this church for 28 years - I wonder how long the Rock 'n' Roll cafe continued?
