Time For Tea
Welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday. Today’s post is from February 22, 2017. I know today is February 23, but my mind was wandering when I chose what to share today. I was in Cambridge and reading a history of Christianity in England that was part of a display in The Round Church (more […]
The Round Church – III
I do wonder how you get chosen to be one of the fortunate students who gets to study in this place. It can’t be as easy as just sending an email request, can it? To me it seems like a singular honour, but maybe that is because I am living in Ottawa where the […]
The Round Church – II
After yesterday’s post, I thought a photo essay would be appropriate for today.
The Round Church – I
I had been told it was no longer a church, but that wasn’t the full story. More accurate would be to say they no longer hold Sunday services there – but it is still a place where the gospel is proclaimed. Technically it is named The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but everyone refers to […]

Others include John Milton and Robert Oppenheimer. It does seem a bit ironic though that Darwin’s name would be the one most commonly associated with Christ’s, as many people […]
The Chapel
In my younger years I was a student at Carleton University in Ottawa, a relatively new institution which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. So I hesitate to make a comparison between Carleton and Cambridge University, which has been a seat of higher learning for more than 800 years. But I’m going to anyway. […]
St. Bene’t’s Church
No, that is not a typo. It really is spelled that way. If you want to know why you can click here. The sign outside said it was the oldest church in Cambridge. I like old churches (and young churches), so went inside. There is something special about being in a place where Christians have […]
Drinking At The Eagle
I was in Cambridge and reading a history of Christianity in England that was part of a display in The Round Church (more on that place at a future date). The panel on the 18th and 19th centuries mentioned William Wilberforce and his accomplishments. When he was a student at Cambridge, in 1777, Wilberforce it […]
