In My Story part four<\/a> (which is part of possibly the longest running and most spread out series in the history of blogging!) I spoke about my experience at King Edward VI Grammar School (KEGS) in Chelmsford. It was great to get an e-mail yesterday from someone else who remembers those days.<\/div>\n
\n

I realised some time ago that you were probably the same Adrian who I knew as a teenager in Chelmsford. And your story part 4 seems to have confirmed it for me . . .<\/p>\n

I was in my late 20\u2019s by 1984, and at St. Mary\u2019s, Great Baddow . . . I remember you from inter-church events, and also because I was involved at St. Mary\u2019s with several of the boys from your school who were in that mini-revival.<\/p>\n

To me also it was \u201cthe nearest thing to a revival I have ever experienced<\/em>\u201d \u2013 and I have also experienced the Toronto Blessing, although in my case only this year! When I met with your school friends (and maybe sometimes with you) \u201cthe presence of God was in the room in such a weighty manner<\/em>.\u201d For me also, \u201cI can only remember a handful of other times in my life when God has felt as close as he did at those times<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sadly neither I nor my e-mail correspondent are still in contact with the other boys from that revival time \u2013 nor for that matter the girls from the nearby High School that used to join us for a Christian Union at the time. If anyone out there also remembers this time or knows someone who told them about it, I would love to hear from you, too!<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
