The two of them met in a place called Tyre ā€“ the same city in southern Lebanon which has featured so often in…

  • L'Arche Event

    The cathedral is open today and tomorrow for an art and craft sale which has been organised by folk associated with L’Arche. The pics on the walls are lovely and it is good to have the place open for people to drop in. Getting the building open for more hours per week is a part…
