About Donald Reeves

Revd Donald Reeves is the founder of ‘Soul of Europe’, an organisation set up in 2000 to help people in post war situations, especially in the Balkans. Lord Hylton has been a firm supporter of the work from the very beginning.

Donald is not only a dedicated peace-builder, he is also a gifted amateur organist. He is particularly fond of Bach’s organ music which, he says, has nourished and sustained him throughout his 12 years of peace-building.

He writes:

“Peace-building is not glamorous work. It demands boundless patience and persistence. Setbacks are frequent. Hope easily evaporates; it steals away in the face of cynicism, apathy, and sometimes sheer wickedness. This is why Bach’s organ music is so important to me. It is a testimony to the gift of hope, and therefore it helps redress the balance between a bleak view of human affairs to a saner and more hopeful perspective. I find it immeasurably life-enhancing and I am looking forward to sharing the connections between Bach’s organ music and my peace-building work.”

Address For St John’s Church In Midsomer Norton

St John’s Church is located on Church Square in Midsomer Norton, a town 4.5 miles from Ammerdown.

There is some limited parking behind the church but we recommend that you park in the free car park in South Road, which is less than five minutes’ walk from the church.

Overnight Accommodation

There is some overnight accommodation available at the Ammerdown Centre during the weekend of the anniversary celebrations. It will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, so if you would like to ensure you have a room, please contact Kelly Young as soon as you can on 01761 433 709 or at bookings@ammerdown.org.
