The Vicar on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne…

Reflecting on our sense of calling - to prayer, service, ordination, life in the world, but always in need of renewal.

A bit of an experiment - the 4G used for the original live-stream isn't consistent, though it holds up for the most part (and not long ago there wasn't even a phone signal).
