President J F Kennedy Assassinated Friday November 22 1963
Westminster Chapel with Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sunday pm Nov 24 1963
Diary Entry of Dr Felix I D Konotey-Ahulu in London
LORD’s Day 24th Nov 1963: The Doctor preached as usual on John 1 v 16 in morning, and Gal. 6 v 14 in evening and he made it most relevant to President Kennedy’s assassination – The Cross as the only thing that makes peace, and brings people together. “I would wish President Kennedy’s murder to bring peace, but I know it won’t. I tell you of a MURDER that reconciles sinful man to GOD!” It was tremendous. Spent day at Mum’s with my beloved & Dawid. Evening prayer together. We heard after chapel the suspect of Kennedy’s killer shot dead.
