A NEW guide helps holidaymakers all over the world find the nearest English speaking church.

The Directory of English Speaking Churches abroadis a handy booklet that will help travellers track down an Anglican church in the Gambia, a Baptist church in Bangkok or a Catholic church in Serbia.

For some European cities there are hand-drawn maps showing the location of churches.

Get the guides through the Intercontinental Church Society, an international agency of the Church of England, ics-uk.org, and cost €6.
