I remember Thelma and John being very hospitable. Church meetings were often held at the vicarage. I will never forget that they invited our family ( six of us!) to lunch one Sunday when we were going through a difficult patch. Typical of their pastoral caring. John had innovative ideas, changing the pews and stone floor to carpet and chairs! A much more user friendly space to this day! John was an inspirational preacher. He had a vision for the mission field at home and abroad. He will never be forgotten at Christ Church, Purely!
