The Priory of Finchelsea XXVI
'This is Llandaff,' Sir Richard Arcos waved his arms about, scaring off the attendant who had been meaning to show them around.
'Genuine Early English spendour...' Sir Teabag drooled over the nave.
'Nope,' Sir Richard laughed. 'Most of it's a fake. Remember that big tower with the spire outside?'
'The new one?' Dr. Barton volunteered.
'It fell on the nave back in the eighteenth century. Most of what you see here is no earlier than the 1870s.' Sir Richard strode up the centre aisle, between modern chairs, replacements for pews that got a bit bent after the Germans bombed the cathedral in the war. it was probably a mistake, as the cathedral can barely be seen from the ground, let alone the air. In common with all the Welsh cathedrals apart from St. David's, it could be mistaken for a large parish Church (on second thoughts, St. Asaph could be mistaken for an ordinary Parish Church).

Hmmm...do I detect some fabulously sardonic humour intermingled in your stories?
I enjoy your profile as well...

Hi, Highland Host.
I found a post by you at Mr Ponter's blog, where I am banned and cannot post.
I have been involved with (Flynn) in debate conversation for around 3 years regarding the scope of the atonement.
Recently, you posted re John Gill, and my comments were deleted sadly.
These guys are very selective in how they present certain facts, and I just wanted to let you know that.
You can visit me over at doctrinesofgrace.net to get to know me better.
Anyways, I liked your post at Theology Online that was giving a more even defence of John Gill, a man some of these guys despise, along with John Owen.
Flynn has stated publicly, that Owen's work, The death of Death, is only good for lining the bird cage with!
Imagine that.
Anyways, sorry for the intrusion here brother, but conscience led me to at least make some kind of contact with you.
