'Seize the Day' podcast #9 - October 2009: Barney Barron talks about planting a cafe church on the Warren Park Estate. (22 mins)
It came about quite by accident in the sense that we were in a community room in a children's centre and we were double-booked one night and ended up in this cafe, and actually just found it a very user-friendly and comfortable setting.

Also in this programme John Ayrton talks to Richard Blakely about the film 'The Painted Veil' (reviewed here), and David Couchman reviews Brian Godawa's book 'Hollywood Worldviews.'
