AS A CHURCH WE ARE CURRENTLY
PROTESTING AT THE WAY IN WHICH SUPERMARKETS
ARE SELLING HALAL MEAT
WITH NO LABELLING TO THAT EFFECT
We have held two protests/witnesses outside our local Waitrose store, and have written to Tesco, Sainsbury and Waitrose head offices. We have also made representations to the local MPs and to the Secretary of State at DEFRA, and have had a letter published by the Daily Telegraph on this very serious matter. To see the letter, click on the link below and scroll down to ‘Objection to halal meat’.
We love our Muslim neighbours, and always seek friendly co-
A handout leaflet for staging witnesses outside of supermarkets has been prepared (our campaign is not only a protest, but also a positive witness to Christ’s unique truth). This leaflet can be downloaded by clicking on :

FACING UP TO THE TEMPORARY
NATURE OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
"I am a creature of a day, passing through life as an arrow through the air. I am

The church is situated on the main road (B474)
through the village of Penn, near High Wycombe,
Buckinghamshire (England) HP10 8NU
If approaching on the M40 from the Oxford direction come off at the High Wycombe junction; then follow the signs for Amersham and Penn. If approaching on the M40 from the London direction, come off at Beaconsfield, and follow the signs for Beaconsfield New Town and then Penn. There is a regular bus service from High Wycombe train station (Chiltern Railways) to the village of Penn (ask for Penn Pond). It is about a 6 minute walk to the church from the bus stop.
