to Mr Mark Sleet, of Waddington, who exp­ anded on the theme by offering practical meth­ ods for regular Bible use. Parallels with a radio were used to show that to read effectively one must have good recep­ tion, be balanced, and tuned in for clarity and


variety. After refreshments,


the Rev. Richard Atkin­ son, of Trinity Church, Clitheroe, and Mr John Tomlinson dealt with


"Music in Worship - past, present and future". They dealt with the


earliest days of singing, involving responses to the preacher reading


I including a barge trip for I four, a meal for two, a I chicken dinner, a hamper 1 and a bottle of whisky. It ] will be held at St Mary's | Parish Hall, in Whallcy

the audience had been invited to submit ques- tions to the Circuit Panel, the above-men­ tioned speakers chaired | by the Rev. Stephen Fos­


ter, Chatbum. Inevitably there was a


bias towards matters arising out of the terror­ ist atrocity of September | 11th. The team dealt with these most impres- sively, leaving the audi­ ence applauding their expressions of humanity and Christian tolerance. The event was the


third of its type, the oth­ ers being equally suc­ cessful. The audience was invited to offer ideas for the next "Breath of


Fresh Air".
