“A Time of Hope”
Oxford Marks Holocaust Memorial Day
This month Keble College will hold its 12th Holocaust Memorial Day service, which welcomes the sounds of both Keble College Choir and that of the Oxford Jewish Congregation, OxfordShir.

The Accidental Texan
As an ICU nurse I’ve learned to remain calm in intense or even scary situations... Not in this situation. I shot out of bed naked, screaming, “GET OUT!” while jumping up and down on one leg crying... obviously one of the finer moments of my life.
