THROUGH THE LENS (cont...)

Locum Minister Rev Ian Gilmour explained to the Bohra
community about the church furniture, the name and purpose
of each piece. He then spoke about three of the memorials

1. Remembering people who died building the Kandy-
Colombo railway
2. A female doctor who had trained in the UK, but had served
in Colombo from before WW1 to 1933
3. A well respected newspaper sub-editor, who died young
and his plaque was erected by his colleagues.

These revealed the breadth of links between the church and the
wider community.

We then had some refreshments at the manse and were
thanked by Imam Saman and invited to visit the Mosque, when
a convenient date could be found.
