from the Royal Forest of Dean
Roger Royle joins foresters in their 'cathedral', the 13th-century parish church in the village of Newland. He meets HEMY AND NORMA ARES, Methodist missionaries from the Philippines; and GEOFFREY ROBERTS , whose job took him around the world until he went blind. Roger visits KEVIN VALE in his butcher's shop in Drybrook and hears how Christian commitment changed his business ethics.
