Message from the Vicar
On a visit to Papua New Guinea, Dr. George Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, visited a cathedral which had a roof but no walls. People were able to enter or, if they preferred to hover around the edges and listen if they wished. He said that this was a good illustration of what the churcf of God should be. I am aware that most of the time we worship God behind closed doors. it was therefore great to be able to have our Pentecost Celebration out in the castle grounds and, for the third year running, we had a loveley hot, sunny day. I do wish that we had more opportunity to do things out in the open where people can "hover around the edges." Those of us that attend church regularly sometimes forget how awkward it feels to enter a church building for the first time. perhaps we could move out of the four walls of the church building more often.
