I agree with the Bishop. However, I tire a little of bishops and church leaders exhorting christians to do things and not so much highlighting the hospitality, generosity and compassion so many parishes and everyday faithful folk show.

Dorothy LS is very accurate in her locations. I remeber going to the place where the body was found in 5 Red H.

I find their science ones very helpful in their explanation - 'The Locomotive' was excellent. However above The Telephone I'd also choose 'Birds of Pray'

Another view from Winston - the terraced garden of the former Rectory. Beautiful.

Yes, indeed, we were given a (painfully) detailed history of the movement by our fellow student! (He had little time for Catholicism - a difficult stance to take when in Rome 😂)

I suspect they have little choice in where they go - Italian authorities will do it for them. It reminds me when I met a fellow student Scot in Rome who, on Sunday, asked if we'd like to join him in the evangelical Waldensian Church in Rome - we were on our way to St Peter's!
