St. Jame’s, Thorley
St. Jame’s, Thorley
On the outskirts of Bishop’s Stortford is Thorley. The website (http://www.stjames-church-bishops-stortford.org.uk) says this;
‘This wonderful church is where we hold formal services each Sunday in a traditional Anglican style. It also open for personal prayer most days between 9.00am and 4.00pm. In a busy world, resting in the stillness of St James’, one is aware of the presence of God and millions of prayers that have been offered here during the ages.’
And so I found it. It is well signed of
f the main road and there was an open church sign outside the door. Some lights had been left on and there were some ‘bats’ which explain a bit about the church. It is obviously a busy place but I did feel that a bit more could have been done to cater for those who drop in. Somewhere to leave prayer requests would be good and some guidance on how to pray. But at least St. Jame’s is open! An interesting place to look at.
