Westernere who became Muslim. Preaching from the converted

Interesting insights into what lies behind some British conversions to Islam. Note that at least one is to a fairly extreme version. Of course it would be possible to find Christian conversion stories with the same sort of elements in them too. It requires us to be relatively sophisticated about our theology of the Holy Spirit and our anthropology to make sense of the congruencies. Though the Church Growth Movement has long recognized the human factors in what brings people into the church. How do we understand the role of the Spirit?

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
