REV STEPHEN GAMBLE

Music, sermons, notes & videos of my dogs.

Having originally started with posting sermons on this Blog I branched out to include videos of my dogs, articles I have written, and some of my music.

The things I write are as full of inelegance and error as any other quality I may rather they posses, but they may possibly be useful or even entertaining to you - maybe if only to take issue with what I have said.

Vicar (part - time) of the Welland Foss Benefice
