This is an eye witness account (from Margaret Joy) of the formation of South Chard Christian Church (sometimes known as South Chard Fellowship) in 1950s Somerset, England. From the 1950s to the 1980s South Chard Christian Church was widely known as a independent Charismatic Church. Margarent Joy was an original member of the church and was close friends with Sid and Mill Purse. This book includes an account of the start of 'body ministry' and includes people such as Harry and Pam Greenwood and Andrew Culverwell.
Uncle Sid and Aunty Mil at South Chard Christian fellowship
As someone who visited the south chard fellowship in the early days I can say I was delightfully surprised to come across this booklet. I was blessed by my visits. It was a very precious time. Who can number how many people came under Uncle Sid’s ministry. Body ministry was a new concept too. I think that has been lost in the church today. Perhaps a watered down form still exists today. Those times I liken to the time in the bible when an angel came and touched the pool. The angel had touched south chard. The booklet still carries an anointing.
