Hi all,

I can't explain it..... many years ago in the early 2010s... I used to go here occasionally and did Alpha there. Whilst I wasn't overly happy with some elements of it - the loud music from the band - it seemed reasonably ok.

Having been a few times since in the last couple of years, it just feels wrong. Something has changed since Nicky Gumbel left, and not for the better.

Something is irking me. Maybe it's the overtly super happy welcomings, I'm not your brother - don't call me that. I think it's something else.

I'm not super religious by any stretch, but the word that comes to my mind with them now is 'cultish'
