Oh my, yet another comment. I wasn't going to say anything to the list as a whole but maybe I should as I suggested services, so I will copy to list what I responded offlist to Dot: O dear, I was, I have to admit, carefully avoiding mention of St Just - a church which I only visit now when I am certain of not getting a service. I had hoped that it was just my experience there! It's sad, but there it is. I suspect he is a man with a real chip on his shoulder about the way the C of E is going, and this infects his attitudes. We constituted half his 8.00 congregation and he kept his back to all of us throughout and then appeared to hide until we had all gone! Mind you, the other two members of the congregation were shy but friendly enough! And he is the guy in charge at Sancreed too :( His predecessor in the 1970s was lovely! I'd still recommend going to services though - we generally infest Towednack/Zennor, Madron and Breage when we're down that way and a lovelier lot you couldn't wish to meet! St Just church is historically and architecturally great but sadly I wouldn't recommend it as a religious experience. However the ones I listed above together with Pendeen, St Buryan, Paul and the RC churches at Penzance and Hayle have all been fantastic. cheers Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Brian Millett <bmillett@u030.aone.net.au> To: 'Dot Hosking Huntley' <Dot@hoareserves.com>; cornish <cornish@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:03 Subject: Re: [CORNISH] travel We visited it in 1989 and the same people must still be there.
