Charles Darwin almost as popular as Jesus in the UK in February 2009.
February 2009 marked the bi-centennial commemoration of Charles Darwin, and his work ‘On The Origin of Species’. Darwin’s theory of natural selection has changed the way the world thinks about life and has had an impact upon the belief that ‘in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth’.

A short history of Bethel United Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic (Part 2)
On another occasion Sydney had to preach to the more distinguished guests on board including judges and high flyers. For the young Bishop this was daunting as he was not from such a background.
