Sunday 30 August is the final in our August series ‘Inspired by the Past and Facing the future’.

He came to Bristol as a pastor in his 20’s and this was his base until his death at the age of 93.

And the last of our ‘Facing the Future’ speakers also has a connection to Bristol. During the 1980’s he was a curate at All S
