Uncle Norman's Church in Shiraz

Chris and Esther visited Iran on their way to Turkeyand were able to drop in on Shiraz. My great uncle Norman (Dr Norman Sharp)build thischurch which is still being used. He was a Persian scholar loved Iran passionately.It is fascinating that three of the family have now worked there --

I was there in 1968 to 1970,
My brother Dave was therelater on until the arrival of the Khomeini regime.
Ali worked there in Bam a couple of years ago.

Now Zara and Richard walk where their great great great uncle used to walk.
