A Celebration of Felix and Fursey An afternoon meeting on Saturday 28th April 2012 to celebrate the arrival of Felix and Fursey in East Anglia. Our aim will be to help us all think afresh about Felix and the joint work that both he and Fursey were able to do as co-founders of East Anglian Christianity. To our great delight the Bishop of Dunwich, The Rt Revd Clive Young, will be joining us for the occasion. The venue will be at St John's Church, Felixstowe by courtesy of the Priest-in-charge, Fr Robert Hinsley. Worthy of note in St. John's is the Lady Chapel glass east window depicting the Suffolk triumverate of Edmund, Felix and Fursey. For the location of St John's Church, Felixstowe |
