It is hard to know what the 1875 founders of
the Keswick Convention, the wonderfully-named Canon T.D. Harford-Battersby and
his more ordinarily-nomenclatured friend,
Robert Wilson, would make of it today.
Hopefully they would see a very great deal
to encourage them. They would observe,
among other things, wholehearted singing.
They might marvel at the ethnic diversity
of those speaking. They might be amazed at
the newly-purchased Pencil Factory and its
ongoing transformation into a permanent
home for the event (and all its newer year-round activities).
