Great day visiting Christian sites

We left our home a little before 9.30 a.m. and headed towards Moulton where William Carey pastored.

Then went to Olney and visited the church where John Newton pastored and saw the house where he penned "Amazing Grace". We actually sang it in the church. Great accustics! LOL

In the same town is where William Cowper lived. We saw the summer house where he wrote many of his poems and hymns.

After that we headed to Bedford and the town of John Bunyan. We were telling the folks a Bunyan's where we had been and they had never heard of William Carey. Isn't that sad? Such wonderful history in this great land, yet folksdon't even know about it. Heartbreaking!!

Had FISH-N-CHIPS for supper to end a great day
