Watching last week’s Communion Service (on YouTube) I was struck by just how much things have changed.
The picture above shows Rev Ralph Drake, who was with us between 1967 and 1979 and four of MBC’s Deacons beginning our regular, third Sunday in the month Communion Service and would I suspect have been taken in the mid nineteen seventies.
Change of course is inevitable, it happens rather like a candle burning down or an ice cube melting: slowly, almost without one knowing, and it’s not until years later when you come face to face with an old image that you realise just how big the change has been.
