Have logged onto Anglimergent, which is a fascinating community, though I fnd it a bit of a walled garden.

One of the great joys of having John as our bishop is his depth and understanding of learning — good at encouraging discipleship. And three of us (Me, Archdeacon Julian and John the registrar) wee all at Wycliffe together in the late seventies.<BR/><BR/>Mark I think I agree with you. I transcribed the quote from a photo I took of the dedication inscription in the Vokins annexe, but you're absolutely right — I think the quote must have been transcribed wrongly, and, guided by the inner light, will amend it accordingly.Bishop Alan Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879516755776951638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-80013348861089630622009-03-16T18:09:00.000+00:002009-03-16T18:09:00.000+00:00Thanks for this as for so much else.

As you say, the food is 'extraordinary' - I've never had such exceptional bread and butter pudding with marmalade, and it's not as though this stands alone. Glad you enjoyed.Geoff Colmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399306737741865827noreply@blogger.com
