Read More Zoë Dryden: Remembering New LifeIt occurred to me when I woke up this morning. As the first thoughts were drifting in, something triggered a memory. Lo and behold there it was, the fact that something momentous took place on Saturday 19th February 1994 in Mill Road Baptist Church in Wellingborough.
