I was in Brighton yesterday. I love this place and find myself always pleased to visit such a wonderful city. Sadly the weather today meant I did not hang around too much.

I love Brighton because it is one of those few places I have been where people appear, on the surface, to be quite accepting of diversity. Different fashion, tribes, followings can all coexist by accepting each others differences. Many may not recognise this – but it seems to me that God is clearly present within this city.

I was in Brighton today meeting with about 12 church leaders who are just wondering about a YFC centre and what it might look like in the area. I don’t know what will happen from the meeting – but I really hope that YFC and the local churches of Brighton can work together. There is certainly a lot of scope and opportunity in such a wonderfully diverse city.
