St Paul’s Without the Walls has seen its evening service of choral music and traditional liturgy grow in popularity after introducing a home cooked meal.
The idea came to parishioner Michael Keeler-Walker following suggestions the service would be stopped.
He said: “We had Choral Evensong once a month, but often it was irregular and sometimes just dropped.
“Despite a choir of 18, often the only congregant would be the person doing the reading.
“So, we decided to go back to basics. It became regular, each month, focussing on good food, good fellowship, good preaching, and good music.”
