So I allowed it to reveal itself. I checked the ITV website today, and it mentions a medieval church in Suffolk that has been 'vandalised'. 'The 13th century image, behind the alter of St Mary's church in Brent Eleigh was found scratched on Maundy Thursday. The face of the Virgin Mary depicted in the painting as been gouged.'
Internationally famous rare Christian art in this historic area of the country. Country churches that are often left open for tourists to visit. However, now they may have to be closed and the art given protection. It does make you wonder why such a rare cultural treasure wasn't put behind unbreakable glass.

I haven't owned a TV since 1998, although a visit to TV websites often present different news.

Lavenham my favourite country village. The oldest complete village in the UK. If you would like to experience rural historical England, there is no better place to go than Lavenham.

Brent Eleigh is located between Lavenham and Hadleigh and it is mentioned in the Domesday book.
The nearest railway station to Brent Eleigh is Sudbury, and its a long time since I have been in that area. The last time I was in the Sudbury area I was giving a talk on health at a school for parents, and to a class of school girls.

In the 80's I worked in Hadleigh, Lavenham,and Sudbury, at the weekends, such a lovely area. I'm a country woman in my heart, this beautiful countryside and its people will always be in my heart.
I could have left it and returned to London city life at anytime, who could leave such a lovely area?
If you have the beautiful nature of the English countryside in your heart from a child, it is always in your heart. The peaceful meadows and historical heritage.
The word 'Belo' can be found three times in the book of Ezra and Ezra means 'God helps'. The translation given for 'Belo' means 'Tribute'.
'Whatever the God of heaven as prescribed, let it be done with diligence. For the temple of God of heaven. Why should his wrath fall upon the realm of the king and his sons. You are also to know that you have no authority to impose taxes, tribute or duty on any of the priests, levites, musicians, gatekeepers, temple servants or other workers at this house of God". Ezra 7:23-24
In Judaism it means no taxes on land, no property and council tax, and no tax on crops e.g the farming of food. It also applies to wages for those listed. Let the parishes hear it loud and clearly because the parishes have historically made decisions about local taxes. The parish councils also include councillors from the local councils.
There used to be parish law in England for the poor, and the people in the parish had to take care of the poor. Parish law was replaced by the welfare state. Although it is clear that the local parish councils still get involved in a lot of the decision making process to do with taxes as a recent parish newsletter proves.
In the original scheme of things in the parish councils, the poor were not allowed to vote, and those that could vote and sit on the parish councils included local magistrates. You know, those magistrates and councils that Jesus warned his healers about, as written about in the scriptures.

Now I suggest that the churches read Micah 4, because the woman that is spoken about in the scriptures is back!
