Bob’s Clapham Blog. Joining the fight against modern-day slavery. Tuesday, December 25, 2007. A Prayer for the Clapham Circle. I’m finally recovering a bit from a crazy work schedule, a trip to Asia, a nasty cold and last-minute Christmas preparations. Aside from a clogged right ear that gave out on the final leg of the plane trip home, I’m feeling pretty good. This morning I was reading Philippians 1, and Paul’s words reminded me of the Clapham Circle. Paul also records his prayer for the Philippians:.
