WRITER and Church of England priest Rev Dave Tomlinson will be speaking at Christ Church Hall, Avenue Road, Malvern, on Thursday 10th January 10.

He found himself in the news, and in the frontline for criticism, after he took the funeral of train robber Ronnie Biggs in December 2013.

He will be talking about his latest book Black Sheep and Prodigals. For details of booking, call 01684 565708.

Rev Tomlinson is a proponent of progressive Christian theology and practice, and regularly contributes to BBC Radio 2’s Pause for Thought on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show.
