Near miss

Preaching can be dangerous- as Arthur discovered this morning.  After the service at Knollcombes, he was standing in the entrance speaking to some folk, while Danny and Hannah were experimenting with ringing the bell.  Suddenly there was a loud crashing noise.  The clapper from the bell (weighing approximately 10 lbs) had rusted off, and missed Arthur's head and shoulders by a few inches...

Other than having his wife and child trying to arrange an "accidental death" (just kidding), Arthur is quite involved in "Uplift" - the name that they have given the group that meets each Sunday in the Knollcombes chapel.  They have a regular group of about 8 people that attend.  It is a much free-er and more casual kind of meeting than the "regular" churches, but the message of Christ remains the same.
