Rev Dr Alan C Clifford (70) and his congregation in Norwich met last Sunday in a recently renovated house, having been evicted by Norwich City Council from the community centre they used during the past two decades. The minister has been accused of being 'motivated by hate' in a leaflet he published, entitled Why Not Islam."
In this evangelistic leaflet, Dr Clifford drew a series of contrasts between Mohammad and Christ, and presented Christ as the only Saviour of the world, including Muslims.
Dr Clifford has fulfilled the role of an evangelist for the past four decades, and this included his desire to seek the conversion of the Muslim people, in itself a sign of compassion towards them and all men.
In addition to Norwich Reformed Church's Sunday services, they also had a bookstall which in Norwich City Centre which attracted many callers each week. Here Christian counsel was given to the hurting and worried, Christ was presented as the only Saviour of mankind, and excellent Christian literature was available for purchase.
In this as in all other maters, our God is sovereign. He is dong what we cannot see now, but it will be revealed in due times. Perhaps through this witness, Dr Clifford "shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out."
