Coventry Corner
Nested in the heart of Coventry, UK, a city of 304,746 in the West
Midlands region of England, a "mossian" has began. Coventry herself was founded between 1022 to 1048 AD, becoming renowned
as the home of Lady Goddiva and her famous ride. On November 14, 1940, durning WWII, St. Michael's Cathedral and 75%
of the buildings of inter Coventry were destoryed in an air raid. Today, this ancient city is 9th largest in England and home
to such companies as Jaguar, a car manufacturer, and the Marconi company.
At the Coventry Mossion the aim is to raise a community of alternatives
that reach out to the other freaks in Coventry demonstrating to them what Christianity is really all about. Their
team consists of Stephen, the mossionary, Jude, the pediatric nurse, and others, each with a deep heart for the subculture
community. They have just rented a 6 room dwelling in which to live/minister, and in Stephen's words, "We're gonna
have a prayer room, and now we can take care of people as we need to. We'll be running cell groups and so forth, and
we'll be able to be more available for the kids." Currenty, their greatest needs are prayer, cash, and supplies
to aid those with whom they minister.
It is their goal to have them team grow in the next 6-18 months. As
time goes on and the ministry grows, their dream is to have a constant influence and an obvious presence within the community.
They envision owning a larger building with many rooms, lots of bathrooms, a large open fireplace, outside gathering places,
and enough land to grow food. All of this is among a large growing group of alternatives becoming personally strong on many
levels.
