National Poetry Day, Angels
Film number 11 for National Poetry Day!
Researching churches to find one that might have a Priest or Vicar that would read a poem for us, I came across the website for the beautiful, ancient church in the centre of Bristol, Saint Stephen’s.
The Priest-in-charge of Saint Stephen’s and Holy Trinity, Hotwells, Reverend Lee Barnes, says in his ‘who’s who’ that he likes poetry. He was therefore the obvious choice!
I was thrilled when he agreed to read Jan Dean‘s fabulous poem, Angels.
Thank you so much Rev. Lee Barnes, Jan Dean for use of the poem, and the community of Saint Stephen’s, Bristol.
