The annual Keswick Convention held during July and early August saw an estimated 12,000-15,000 people visit for bible study and worshipping God together.
Weeks of almost unbroken sunshine went together with record attendances. Around 3,700 people were at the Bible readings with Oxford University mathematician Professor John Lennox, plus around 800 children and young people in groups. A 95-year-old local lady, Sally, was there again: she has been coming to the Convention since she was five!
Week three featured a special programme for people who use British Sign Language; another week of ‘Abide’ for people aged 19-25; a special performance of the God Particle play, written by James Cary, a scriptwriter for BBC series Miranda and My Family; and the ‘Home for Good’ campaign supporting fostering and adoption.
