I ran into Father David this morning outside the Cozy Cafe, and he told me about a short film that he's hosting at St Mary's Church on Thursday 31st October at 7.30pm.
It's only half an hour long, and it's about the problems with phosphates which are used as fertiliser on farmers' fields and then washed into the rivers, causing pollution.
Most of the film is about the Somerset Levels, but they also mention Our Lady of the Waters and the pilgrimage begun by Father Richard. As well as the footage of the first pilgrimage, they have contributions from scientists, farmers, businesses, and concerned individuals.
This isn't just a problem in the UK, of course - it's global, because of modern farming techniques, and until those techniques are changed, the problem will only get worse.
Entry is free, refreshments will be available, and there will be a Q&A session after the film.
