The complete Bible, chapter and verse, on the walls of a small room, akin to a prison cell, though you need either good eyesight or a magnifying glass to read.
The prison cell is in St Mary’s Church in Guildford (if you can find it open) 4-15 July 2011.
Rev Neil Lambert (rector St Mary’s Ash Vale) gave a talk on Bible-in-a-room at St Mary’s Church on Monday 4 July 2011. It is a pity that Church Warden Mary Alexander who gave a talk on George Abbot the previous week in St Mary’s Church did not see fit to mention Bible-in-a-room or that Catherine Ferguson was giving a talk on the King James Bible nor was there a notice or mention on the church noticeboard.
The idea is to sit in the cell and meditate or find a favourite passage from the Bible.
Neil Lambert was serving excellent pancakes in the church grounds today and will be doing the same next Monday and Tuesday.
Bible-in-a-room is part of Wisdom’s Feast, the theme of Guildford Diocesan Summer School 2011.
