Chapel Strength


While visiting my grandma in Hove I discovered The Gospel Standard Baptist Library in an outhouse in the grounds of her home, Bethesda - a fantastic resource of Baptist tracts and theological books. It's a very well-kept lending library for members of the Strict Baptist denomination and organised with good old fashioned card cataloging.









Residents of Bethesda are also blessed with daily sermons piped in from Brighton, which is then broadcast into their rooms via the apparatus below at 'chapel strength.'
