David - Patron Saint of Wales

This PowerPoint programme is designed to be shown in churches or small group settings on St David's day, the first of March, though it may of course be used at other times. It contains approximately 200 photographs along with a full written script and supplementary notes, as well as suggestions on how to run the programme in a local church or small-group setting.

Note that in order to use this PowerPoint programme you will need access to a computer and a video projector.

The PowerPoint files in particular are quite large and may take a long time to download if you do not have broadband. Make sure that you right-click on the filename and select "Save target as ..", rather than just clicking on the filename.

Acknowledgements and Thanks

I am grateful to several individuals who have helped me in the production of this programme:

• Mrs Mary Kapon, secretary in the Communication department of the British Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, who carefully proofread the text when I was working with her in that department.
• Dr Robert Surridge, my brother and co-author of a previous programme on "The Seven Churches of the Apocalypse". His understanding of the PowerPoint medium and the art of the illustrated lecture has helped me iron out several sections which were just not "flowing" properly.
• Dr Brian Phillips, who brought to my attention some of the more obscure passages in Wade-Evans English translation of Rhigyfarch's Life of St David.
• Mrs Lynda Baildam, Assistant Librarian at the Newbold College Library, who tracked down the 1923 version of Wade-Evans English translation of Rhigyfarch's Life of St David.
• Pastor Islwyn Rees, a seasoned practitioner of the illustrated slide lecture, who was able to offer helpful comments of both a stylistic and factual nature.
• Pastor Victor Hulbert, who has many years of experience with the spoken word through the medium of radio.
• My family, who have visited and re-visited numerous historical and religious sites with me over the years on the pretext of "going for a walk".

Of course the script is still far from perfect and for this failing I take full responsibility myself. Were it not for the help of the people listed above however it would be considerably less perfect than it is now. John Surridge.
