[Ely Events] FW: Religious Broadcasting Bulletin

[Steven Levitt]

I was on holiday last week, so was unable to post the broadcasting bulletin
when it came in. I had sent emails to a number of others who receive the
bulletin asking them to post this an as email until I was able to put it on
the web, but as it didn't go out, I must assume that they were away as well.


Here it is - sorry it is late, but even people doing work for the diocese
have holidays sometimes!
