First meeting report - now pencil down 20 Jan 2008!

The London chapter of Affirmation held its first meeting on Sunday 16 December 2007 . The meeting combined a social gathering as well as a Christmas message. On this occasion, everyone had the opportunity to freely talk about their experiences and perspectives on their relationship with the church, the teachings, their Mormon identity and related topics. There was a warm and welcoming atmosphere and people felt at ease about pouring their hearts out, as well as joking and having a laugh about us as being part of the "peculiar people" of Mormondom.

The meeting was hosted by Angelo, who opened the meeting talking about his experience in Affirmation along his life. He referred also to the opportunity of attending the International Affirmation Conference in Washington D.C. last October and the great spirit there. Angelo also shared a short Christmas message which consisted in the spiritual element of the meeting.
Pedro volunteered to host the next Affirmation meeting on 20 January 2008 at his home in Surbiton, South London. For further information and how to get to Pedro's place contact Angelo on 075 1547 6045.

God be with you till we meet again!
