The Canon of Swansea

Was at a DIN at St Athan many, many years ago when the said Canon was invited to dine on the top table and speak. One of the most entertaining DIN talks I've ever heard over some 30 years.

He was about 5 foot nothing but verily I say unto you, the earth seemed to move when he spoke!

He started with "SINNERS ALL!" Delivered with force you would not imagine.

And didn't we sit up and listen! He spoke about cradle to the grave, but HE looked after folks from the "sperm to the worm".

I thought at the time if I wasn't a godbotherer then, if I lived in Swansea and was a visitor to his church, then I soon would be so.
