According to the eighth-century Muslim historian Ibn Ishaq, Ubayd Allah ibn Jahsh ibn Ri'ab, cousin to Muhammad, abandoned Islam and converted to Christianity in Abyssinia (Ethiopia). His former comrades would say to him:
“We see clearly, but your eyes are only half open”.
He saw more in Jesus Christ than all others see who try to look past Him.
Capel Salem, Pwllheli, has the same name as Martin Top Chapel, but for its Welsh. It was originally built in 1862 for the Calvinistic Methodists, though it was expanded in 1893 and then rebuilt in 1915 after a thief in 1913 discovered nothing worth stealing so decided he would become an arsonist instead.
