St. Eata’s church in Atcham is the ONLY church in the UK dedicated to St. Eata, who was Bishop based on the beautiful Northumbrian island of Lindisfarne from 681-685 A.D.! And how appropriate that this pigeon posed for me recently, on the pedestrian bridge at Atcham.
Nature speaks so clearly in Shropshire – as it does all over the world. St. Francis of Assisi preached to the bird – he was in touch with the natural world. Perhaps churches today can help call us back to nature – creation – like this pigeon did for me today!
