[Friends] Evangelical days at the rec

[Lloyd Gee]

There would be rather better ways of raising awareness. If they were a 
religious groups with roots in the community and running something of 
genuine benefit to the whole community, then fine. In my work, I have 
been involved in festivals where this kind of evalgelical religious 
group have taken over an area of a park. There have been so bent on 
"spreading the gospel and word of Jesus" that they have neither 
respected the rest of the festival nor the green space and the community 
that surround it!

Localpark they do not seem to be the type to vandalise and trash as they are a religious group. Why don't we as the friends group take as much advantage as possible from the situation!
