A computer, video projector, and PowerPoint programme are all required to show this programme. All of the photographs used in the presentation have been inserted into the

I am grateful to several individuals who have helped me in the production of this programme:
Mrs Mary Kapon, my secretary in the Communication department of the British Union
Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, who by now can spot my mistakes before I even make them.
Dr Robert Surridge, my brother and co-author of a previous programme on "The Seven
Churches of the Apocalypse". His understanding of the PowerPoint medium and the art of the illustrated lecture has helped me iron out several sections which were just not "flowing" properly.
Dr Brian Phillips, who brought to my attention some of the more obscure passages in Wade-
Evans English translation of Rhigyfarch's Life of St David.
Mrs Lynda Baildam, Assistant Librarian at the Newbold College Library, who tracked down the 1923 version of Wade-Evans English translation of Rhigyfarch's Life of St David.

Pastor Islwyn Rees, a seasoned practitioner of the illustrated slide lecture, who was able to offer helpful comments of both a stylistic and factual nature.
Pastor Victor Hulbert, who now has many years of experience with the spoken word through the medium of radio.
My family, who have visited and re-visited numerous historical and religious sites with me over the years on the pretext of "going for a walk".
Of course the script is still far from perfect and for this failing I take full responsibility myself. Were it not for the help of the people listed above however it would be considerably less perfect than it is now.
