• The Provost’s Forum: Sabbatical Stories

    Here’s the video from a special Provost’s Forum that I held after the Eucharist today. The topic was my recent sabbatical trip to Canada and the USA. Cedric Blakey was interviewing me and passing on questions from members of the congregation.

    Good fun to do and a great set of questions.

    Sorry the audio is not better. Anyone who wants to help found a Guild of Geeks to help me do this kind of thing better is very welcome to get in touch.

    There is something particularly apposite about reading the story of Abraham at this time of the year. For this is the time of so many journeyings.
