Ian Knox was a young Christian solicitor (I know that to many people "Christian" and "solicitor" are mutually exclusive terms but .....), and in the 1960s and 1970s he spoke at many meetings where the crossBeaTs played. He was an extremely gifted communicator of the gospel to young people. The dates of meetings with Ian (that we have a record of in the bookings page) were: |
| 15 November | 1968 | Catacombs Coffee Bar |
| 11 May | 1969 | Catacombs Coffee Bar? |
| 19 June | 1970 | Catacombs Coffee Bar |
| 28 November | 1970 | Radcliffe Independent Methodist. |
| 6 February | 1971 | Newbottle, County Durham |
| 18 September | 1971 | Cheadle Parish Church. |
| 14 April | 1972 | Radcliffe Independent Methodist Church (with the Informers). |
| 12 May | 1973 | Garston Covenantors? (Liverpool?) |
One of the ex-workers at the 'Cats', Tony Jones (now a Baptist minister in Essex - 2002) reminded me that Ian was a regular speaker at the Catacombs, and led the Tuesday night Bible studies, known affectionately as TWIK (Tuesdays with Ian Knox) as well as speaking at the more typical 'Cats' evening.. It's probable that there were many other occasions when he spoke at the 'Cats' when the crossBeaTs were there, but he is not mentioned in our diaries. You can hear Ian introducing the group (Sunday 11 May 1969 at the Catacombs) by going to the first 'track' of the CD - CB9 on this site. |
Ian eventually left the legal profession and became a full-time evangelist/speaker. He started the "Forty: Three Trust", which is a 'Christian Charitable Trust dedicated to the spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ'. Established in 1986, it supports evangelistic work throughout the British Isles and abroad. |
