It was my privilege to be present last Saturday at a baptism in Trowbridge. The baptism took place in Zion Baptist Church, which is the church where John Warburton (1776-1857) was once the minister. We were there mainly becasue ny nephew Osian was being baptised but there were another two baptisms - of an elderly couple, Mrand Mrs Bridges, who had been Anglicans all their lives but were very unhappy that the most recent minister in their local church was a woman who lives with a female companion. All three are reguar members of the congregation that meets in aschool in nearby Hilperton (at Grace Reformed Baptist Church). It was good to see about forty there and we had a nice tea to follow. The opreacher was Geoff Thomas, Osian's grandfather.
