In the fast paced 21st century United Kingdom, for people of African Caribbean origin, white Anglo-Saxons and everyone else, the personal stories we tell are mostly of our day-to-day lives and future aspirations. But what can we learn from the stories of the Windrush Caribbean generation and its successor generation in telling their experience of the 1960s and 1970s?


What if we focus on one Christian community in one part of West London for those stories - Notting Hill?


This book aims to do just that, from the lived experiences of individuals reflecting on their childhood, their hard-working parents - finding racism, poor housing, employment issues and the joys of living in a community in which to share cultural similarities and worship together.


In this time of unprecedented change, a sense of our history has become more needed and compelling. In describing the atmosphere and impact of the age, this sample will resonate in many more communities beyond Notting Hill.


In The Press

The story of Notting Hill Methodist Church represents in microcosm all that has made the Methodist tradition in the UK important. It is a reminder of what the best of us is. And yet it is also a distinctive story that reminds us that not all churches have had such a radical social vision, not even all Methodist ones. I read this book as an inspiring narrative that reminds us of the possibilities of personal and social transformation when hearts are strangely warmed and there is a collective vision of change amongst the people of God.
