Throughout its 200 year history, Hinde Street Church in London has
been one of Britain's best-known Methodist churches, with a long
tradition of great preaching and local community service. In the
early years crowds flocked there to hear the foremost orators of
the day. And thousands of children in the church's Sunday School
were taught reading and writing skills before universal education
was introduced. Hinde Street has always reflected its Marylebone
locality: from the early days when poverty and disease were rife,
to the turn of the twentieth century when shop-girls and young
workers from the new West End stores were an important part of the
local population. Alan Brooks' book tells of episodes of tragic
internal strife, of personal sacrifice and of the devastation of
war. But he also recalls a high tradition of worship and music over
two centuries, the excitement of building a magnificent new chapel,
and the church's constantly developing efforts to support its
inner-city constituency. Fascinating details of Hinde Street's
connections with many of Methodism's great leaders over two
centuries are revealed, including its long-term relationship with
Donald Soper and with the West London Mission whose ambitious
social welfare outreach continues to this day.
