Have any of the friends or ex friends been to a convention at Keswick? What was it like? Are there any friends or meeting in Keswick? www.keswickministries.org/

Yes, I'm an ex and I've been to a Keswick convention.
It was an amazing experience, sharing common faith and edification with so many brothers and sisters in Christ. The singing there is one of my most emotional memories and the praise on the lips of thousands as from the lips of one. "All One in Christ Jesus". Very special and I would recommend it if you were able to go.
In Melbourne, Australia we have a local convention based on the very same principles as Keswick. I attended this Easter and there were more professing people there than ex-professing.
There are no 2X2 friends or meetings in Keswick.

"attended this Easter and there were more professing people there than ex-professing." Can you clarify on numbers? i.e. 3 friends 2 ex-professing.

History seems to indicate that it was the attendance at Keswick by William Irvine and Edward Cooney that sparked the idea for their conventions. Certainly, an Irish minister, Rev George Grubb who preached at Irvine's missions when he was part of the Faith Mission was a regular speaker at Keswick.

Hi ex-teenager, sorry for the delay, I don't read here very often.
There were 13 professing (11 adults and 2 teens) and 8 ex-professing (7 adults and 1 teen) attendee's. By the way we are all friends!
