Speaking as a member of Totterdown Baptist Church in Bristol, I think that if we'd thrown a community street party ten years ago, it wouldn't have looked or felt anything like this. There's been a long, painstaking, detailed process of building bridges and developing relationships, with the organisations within and around the church, and with local people. The walls are nowhere near as thick as they used to be.
Much encouragement to all at Totterdown - event looked excellent. I hope you also served quiche and curly cheese sandwiches? a must at any church event!!
