Cotswold scenes: St Barnabas Church, Snowshill


Enjoyed my forst CofE sunday service in nearly 25 years, at St Barnabas' Church, Snowshill. The sermon was sharp and to the point - an inclusive take on the splits facing the Anglican community at present - I was very impressed.
Although I didn't tell anyone, the service marked quite a significant formal landmark in my personal faith. For the first time since confirmation in the Congregationalist church in 1989, I opted out of the communion bread and wine, choosing instead to receive a simple blessing (hands on head) from the Vicar.
