A pilgrim in Glastonbury

Book Cover Barry Taylor’s new book seeks to shed some light on his own personal experiences of the transformative power of this unassuming market town and what goes into making it the major centre of spirituality and pilgrimage it is today. It serves as a wonderful timeline, covering the last two decades, that begins to reveal the bigger picture and Glastonbury’s evolution towards realizing its full potential.

Glastonbury and Patmos - Twinned in Perpetuity

Patmos and Glastonbury are world famous and are said to share the distinction of the presence of men, in St Joseph and St John, who knew the living Christ. These men took with them the same message that Christ had taught from those earliest times; the Christianity that Joseph knew and brought to our Britain was the same that John took to Patmos.
