Is a small walk from my house. I pass it on my way into the city centre. The church is close to the bus station and it uses this prominent position to evangelise via brightly coloured billboards placed at two of its corners. Everyone in Carlisle has seen these. To not know this requires a level of ignorance remarkable in a m...
