I have not been so well over the past few months, hence no posts. However, following a visit to a cardiologist it seems that there is nothing to worry about. On Wednesday of this week there was an article in the Daily Telegraph about Branse Burbridge. He was well known as a worker with Scripture Union many years ago, but most of us had no idea of his wartime heroics. Though originally a pacifist, when he heard of Nazi atrocities he joined the RAF in 1941 and became a Mosquito pilot. He shot down 21 planes and 3 Doodlebugs, gaining half a dozen medals. He used to aim at the enemy planes' engines in order to give the crew a chance to parachute. Sadly he has Alzheimer's disease now and his medals are up for sale to pay for his care. I also heard that Dr Ralph Martin died on Monday last. He came to London Bible College in 1959 from West Street Baptist Church, Dunstable. He was primarily a New Testament scholar and was not so comfortable teaching Dogmatics, as he did at LBC. Having ministered in Dunstable myself I know of those who were converted during his ministry there; one having now retired after years in the ministry himself.
