Rugby, England


Rugby is a town of about 80,000 halfway between London and Birmingham. My friend Isaac from Auburn is an Episcopalian youth pastor there, and after touring London with him on Friday , we headed up to visit with him and see Oxford on the following day. Rugby is actually the birthplace of the game with the same name, and has a very prestigious boarding school with a statue of William Webb Ellis - the school boy who first had the idea for the game of Rugby. The town is very cozy, and I really enjoyed meeting the locals, hearing about the history of the town, and getting a much better idea of the cultural and religious differences.
