Several blog posts back I mentioned that Brenda and I had been part of a Cru Missionary Team, visiting England. We had just finished a Christian Faculty Conference in Woodstock, GA the day before we boarded a plane in ATL for Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. From there we flew into Newcastle, England, right up on the edge of Scotland on the NE coast of England.
We had been here a few years ago. Newcastle is a large city, but relative to London, it had a "homey" feel, and we began to grow comfortable there after only a couple of days.
Our friends, the Refearns, live in Newcastle where Jon is a pastor of a Church there. On our last visit with traveled some with their son, Tom, so we were excited to see him again. Jon is a terrific photographer, and we were able to buy a book of his photos from Italy. He had photographed the major scenes of Florence, Venice, and a bit of Roma and Pisa. We have, over the years, visited all of these places, so these picts have special significance to us.
We ministered at Sunderland University, and at Newcastle and Northumbria Unis too. We'll say more about that next post.
By the way, the snow only stopped on the day we left Newcastle for London!
