yes, Brighton is beautiful -- the pier, the Seven Sisters, the walk to hove etc. And it was a nice place to live in -- even for a conservative like me! I used to go to a Church there -- St. Mary Magdalen where
Fr. Ray Blake used to have a weekly meeting for young adults (well we were in our 20s and 30s) to discuss theology and its application to our daily lives.
He has his own blog --> http://marymagdalen.blogspot.com/ which is pretty good.
