It’s one of many times in the CW year that I leave Morning Prayer singing extracts from Elgar 🙂

2/2 … hath visited us, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Fabulous piece, in which Elgar selected his own texts from scripture probably emulating Bach.

I can’t decide whether I’m relieved or disappointed about the project. But I do wish I’d got to know him

I sigh when I think about meeting Ken Campbell as a student and not knowing who he was and having a long and v interesting conversation with him about music I’d composed. He wanted to dramatise it and make it into a puppet show and I just assumed he was a nice but maybe mad member of the public 🤦

Thank you!

Vague recollection of being told it was a folk tale of the time/region, and Jesus is using it it his own way.

I struggle to love the Caledonian sleeper. Last journey I had a seat not a bed, to see whether a bed was worth the extra £200. Bed is so uncomfortable (plus, you feel the motion more). 🤷

Harvest Festival in Chapel at the prison. Lovely prayerful atmosphere, great singing by the men. They filled in a slip, & it placed in the offering box - items to be bought in Tesco by a volunteer next day, using donated funds. The shopping is then given to a food bank. ⚓️✝️ #CofEPeeps #CofE #Narthex

Very grateful for the learning and formation we all benefitted from at St Augustine’s. Hopeful that Chichester Diocese will reinstate Reader training at West Malling asap ✝️ ⚓️ #CofE #CofEPeeps

Please pray for these wonderful graduates of St Augustine's who were licensed as Lay Ministers in the Diocese of Chichester last week.
