John Wesley was a guest speaker at St Mary's, in 1747, and the church was not founded here until 1784. Baino - My phone network is UK based and it charges me the international rate for calls I make while 'abroad' - their term. Since I seem to make more calls while down south it is sensible to carry an extra phone. Ramana - I think you might have a long wait and wild thirst by then.

Must check out a fewmore Aussies. Mine all seem to be miles away. Glad you had a good time and it seems ridiculous that IR calls are charged at an international rate,what a scam.

I'll bet his congregation was small in Ireland, the land of Guiness. It looks like you all had so much fun. Life is so dull here that I am envious.

I'm interested to see how that Church has been reincarnated. I'll definitely check it out whenever I get home. Great post. I’m interested to see how that Church has been reincarnated.
