Two churches in the Bradford Diocese came up with a satisfying idea to spice up the start of the New Year.

St Margaret’s Church in Thornbury and St James the Great in Pudsey opted for a curry night to start off a course for new Christians.

The South Asian flavoured curry and religious rice were served up to people of all faiths and none who turned up for the course on Wednesday at St James’s.

Anyone wanting to find out more about the course should call parish clergy on (01274) 662735 or 656245.
