FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
CITY ON A HILL
Once our charismatic worship was misunderstood. Now it is
our lifestyle and our emphasis on holiness. Many find this unusual,
even controversial. But we rejoice in what God has done
in forming a ‘people for his own possession’. Our vision is to be
a ‘city on a hill’. 64
City On A Hill was an ITV documentary on us and was a fair
representation of where we stood. ‘Of course some will misunderstand
and oppose us,’ said Noel at the end, ‘but we believe
our testimony will win through!’
As the year came to a close I was needed back at the Hall.
I left Living Stones with tears: Kelly, the hero, and Norma;
the brothers who were my friends; the graceful sisters; the
irreplaceable Verna; Goldy, the very senile dog; Snowy, the
more approachable cat; the ducks, the geese, the memories.
I wrote a farewell hymn:
How rich these years in which we spend
Our lives in mutual love entwined;
Such gracious times are rarely found,
But here, on Holy Zion’s ground.
Zion was precious indeed. But her peace was coming to an
end, and a valley of humiliation lay ahead.
