Saturday’s Pilgrimage was a wonderful occasion. We were blessed with an inspiring set of addresses by Bishop Stephen that wove together the various strands of the lives of the Ferrars, as well as the relevance of George Herbert and T S Eliot, and delivered a message for today. I hope we will be able to publish this in a future Newsletter. We enjoyed warm hospitality at Leighton Bromswold and at Ferrar House, and great company from the near-100 pilgrims. And it did not rain! Frank Burns has written about the day in his blog Serendipities of Life, which includes a few pictures of the day. Frank’s photos, together with more by Paul Skirrow, can also be seen on Facebook. Our thanks to Bishop Stephen, and to everyone who contrubuted to the day!
