Baptists!
Getting back in to the swing of things work wise. Have had a couple of interesting meetings this week with youthworkers looking to move things forward.

Been asked to play at a wedding on Saturday with songs I've never heard of!

One of the places visited last week, on the road from Swanage to Exeter was
Loughwood Meeting house. This is an interesting part of Baptist history - it was a secret meeting place, originally hidden in the woods where the congregation would gather, sometimes for the whole of a Sunday to meet. It was built in 1653 and used at a time when imprisonment or other punishment of non-conformists was a real possibility. Its still quite hard to find - but an amazing place to visit.

Hi Pete, I've also been to Loughwood. Quite a history! Just moved from Exeter to Bristol to start studying at the Baptist College. Enjoying reading the posts on your blog, esp. Soul in the City!
Cheers
