The Round Arch Newsletter Number 3 (July 2016)
I have neglected this blog, partly because of the re-organisation of the journal of the North West Catholic History Society, which I am still helping to edit, and partly because I have been busy working on my doctoral thesis, which has resulted in the award of my degree.
This newsletter has been prompted by the closure of one of our churches, St Bernadette's, Allerton, Liverpool, though the building is still standing. I will try to keep you informed about this.
With the continued declined in the numbers of Catholic clergy and laity, the closure of more churches is inevitable, though we ought to be able to prevent their demolition by securing their conversion to other uses.
Meanwhile, please keep an eye on Byzantine-Romanesque churches of all denominations.
My Artifice of Eternity has been remaindered. If you want a copy, including Supplements, please send me a cheque for £5.
