Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Kings Road Baptist Church was founded in Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom in 1640 according to its own internal history; there were certainly Baptists in Reading by 1652, which is when representatives from that town began a Baptist Association with Henley and Abingdon.: 19  The church's forebears moved from Hosier Street (the present site of Reading's open-air market) to Kings Road in 1834: 101  and remained in existence under that name until 1979. In that year the congregation moved to a new church building in Abbey Square and was renamed Abbey Baptist Church. Today Abbey Baptist Church is the home of three other culture-specific churches - Zion Church of God (a Tamil-speaking Sri Lankan/South Indian congregation), Living Streams International (an English-speaking Ghanaian congregation), and Peniel Church (a Portuguese-speaking Brazilian/Portuguese congregation) - as well as maintaining its own International, Intercultural Congregation. The church is well known for its extensive work amongst the many refugees currently housed in Reading.
