Nashville update
Back in Nashville where my wifi doesn’t connect for some reason – so I cant upload all I have written on the last few days travelling through historic sites relating to the beginning of Churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement.

I’m sure it’s something to do with the hosting of the World Convention of Churches of Christ. It’s oneContinue reading “Off to Nashville, Tennessee”
