This week in England


I'm in my home town of Colne. Here for the class of 1955 reunion.
Colne has some  picturesque views including vistas of Pendle Hill. (Background)
Around 400 years ago this area was a hot bed of witch's covens and other occult activity.






It was in 1650 that George Fox arrived on the scene. He became the founder of the Quaker movement.
Fox climbed Pendle Hill and earnestly prayed on the summit.
Two things happened:
1)He had a vision of a great harvest of souls for Christ.
2) Within ten years there was a spiritual revival and Mother Demdike and the twisted sisters were gone.

If I have the legs I'll climb Pendle Hill before I leave for the South. If I don't make my next appointment send out a search party!
