Tue 03, 1953 - The Vicar Stays The Night At The Homes Of His Parishioners... Little Gillian looks up in wonder as the visitor led the family in prayer. Gillian is 3 and her brother Roger is 8 and with their parents Mr. and Mrs. Sigurd Sundby they helped to make the Rev. Dick Rice, Vicar of St. Elizabeth's welcome in their home in North Avenue, Eastbourne.. Taking his sleep-bag the vicar is spending nights in the home of his parishioners because he says” the friend who has stayed with you becomes the friend you know”. At the Sundby's council house, he spent the night asleep on the floor of the living room.
