Sunday, August 18: First Day in Cambridge

Our group left London in two buses, arriving in the university town of Cambridge by mid morning. We had a short worship service at the Round Church with Dr. Steven Nichols preaching from Romans 3 on justification by faith and the Reformation. Quick tours of parts of the university, including the King's College Chapel, followed by a fish-and-chips lunch at the Eagle Pub (formerly the Eagle and Child, a favorite of C. S. Lewis during his time there), and then another tour of the old town and several of the colleges by a local Christian guide who specializes in the Reformation history of the town. Then it was back on the buses to go to York.
