A new book on small places of worship has picked St Leonard’s, Chapel-le-Dale, as one of Britain’s finest examples. Sitting high in the Dales, north of Ingleton, this beautiful church began life as a chapel of ease for isolated farming folk in the 17th century. It then served as a graveyard for the Settle to Carlisle railway workers and their families who lived in a nearby shanty town while building the Ribblehead Viaduct and nearby Blea Moor tunnel. A stone memorial to those workers is held within the church.

Holy Habits is a way of forming disciples based on Luke’s picture of the early church in Acts 2:42-47. It explores and encourages the practice of ten disciplines or ‘holy habits’ that Luke presents in the passage: biblical teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, prayer, giving, serving, eating together, gladness and generosity, worship and the making of more disciples. It is a way life for all, from young children to those in residential care.
