Preaching from the Heart, Not Notes

Mike HIll is a retired Bishop from the diocese of Bristol  and gave us a talk at this morning's Christian Mens Breakfast in Frome.

The Secret Life of Priddy

You would have thought that after my major effort yesterday in Stanton Drew I would have had enough of writing, but that's not the way it works with me.
