So These are the Two Tracks Part 1 and 2 Repackaged. U2 in 1990 never granted the permission to use Psalm 40, so I have included the script for Part 3 set in a giant shopping Mall, that didn't really exist yet in UK in 1990.
The script was looking forward to 1995, to a Move of God using places like Malls .
Toronto Blessing happened which was really a foundation of relationship with the Father which was on a new deeper relationship across the Christian world. It makes sense ....because grounded in that , we can call others into that .
Precisely what 1 John 1 is .

BACKPACKER'S GUIDE TO CHRISTIANITY PART TWO
BACKPACKER'S GUIDE TO CHRISTIANITY PARTIII featuring me and Harry, the mystic Road Digger.
PART THREE: C. Flippin eck! You said a meeting. There must be 10,000 squashed in here. / H. Yeah. This is one of the only shopping malls in the country that's large and safe enough to hold such a gathering. / C. But where do they all come from? / H. From all over the country. We meet every three months or so. We use the old acid-house party technique of the early 90's where the venue is a secret until 24 hours before the event. / C. But there's so many! / H. Well we followed the multiplication principle of The Book of Acts. Jesus discipled 12, who discipled 120, who discipled 3,000, who went all over Judea doing the same. The problem in previous centuries was nobody knew what discipling was. Now we see it's just getting Jesus into folk so they become 'little Christs' who go off and do the same.... / C. I recognise them .... that's U2 isn't it? / H. Yeah... that's right. They pop over sometimes. Tonight's a bit of a celebration really because the last meeting we had, the Spirit was moving upon us in repentance. Most of us spent 5 hours flat on the floor crying. Well, we washed the floor anyway. / C. Are you responsible for all this? I thought you were just a road-digger. / H. It's true that at the beginning Christ was building this through me. Now though, the Spirit is doing more through about 15 others. The Spirit has got me on the initial stages of a foreign project at the moment. / C. You could get these people to support you. You don't need to dig roads. / H. I'm happy with my headphones on, digging away. I can meditate. The road-firm's paying me to meditate. END. ©No Name Ltd. 1991 INCLUDED "40" (Psalm 40) by U2 from the live album "Under a Blood Red Sky" 1983 Island Records Ltd. Actually U2 Management Disallowed this and the recording of Part Three was destroyed .Irony: At the time U2 were disassociating themselves from UK Christianity and Greenbelt Festival which up until then they had taken part in. This track got caught in the cross fire.But the irony is this....if you attend any of their concerts you get caught up in the great heart of a God whose love is for people...so actually the message of Backpacker's here is closer to what they stand for than the rest of UK Christianity was at the time, all caught up in little denominational boxes.
From my Double CD Early Harvest 1990 A. Christopher Welch All tracks copyright 1990
