London Has Fallen: Conversation with the Man Who Revealed "The Letter"

As chance would have it, we had the fortuitous opportunity to speak with Matthew this week.  Matthew was a member of the London Church of Christ and is the man that leaked the letter in February of 2003.  Because this conversation sprung up so suddenly, and helps us to explain the story of this letter and its effects even further, we thought that it was necessary to make it available to our audience as soon as possible.  Therefore, it’s being released today, April 9, 2022, unexpectedly, unscheduled, and in its entirety.  

Matthew describes an upheaval that was birthed in the United Kingdom.  He describes a people who were beginning to voice their frustrations with the church until those voices became a collective. Until that collective became fuel for the creation of a letter.  Until the letter was prematurely released and reset the trajectory of the organization.  In February 2003 Matthew stood up for himself.  He stood up for the people.  He stood up to the International Church of Christ.  On behalf of thousands of people around the globe, we thank you Matthew.
