Pulpit Panache

Our minister - or "team leader", as he likes to be called, is famous for wearing Converse shoes, which go well with his casual style of dressing. Here he is this morning, speaking on the relevance of Solomon's temple, built c. 950BC, to us today. (Hopefully, he didn't notice me blipping his shoes!)

For those, like me, who'd never heard of Converse, here's a quote:
More than shoes, Converse is a story of legends, heroes and innovators tied together by the love of sport. Established by Marquis M. Converse in 1908, Converse is an American athletic shoe brand with nearly a century of authentic sports history and footwear innovation under its laces. ... The original canvas and rubber classic Converse All Star, with the Chuck Taylor name and endorsement added in 1923, is a global icon.
