St Cecilia

To Westminster Abbey for the annual St Cecilia service. We were in the nave so saw little. Splendid Purcell Hear my prayer, Palestrina, new Gabriel Jackson piece very lovely, Elgar "Give unto the Lord" and Lift high the cross to Nicholson's tune. Buxtehude Toccata in F at the end. Saw Tom from chorus and Martin Ball and we went to Nicholson's grave. Also Clementi's and Sir William McKie.
To Tate modern to see the crack in the floor - rather scary since I had a fall recently. Louise Bourgeois some very fine carving but rather obsessed by genitalia and spiders and secret rooms - bit creepy. All the world's a stage would be worth visiting again. Members room has fine view of St Paul's.
Interfaith group 3 came and they stayed for Sharing in his life session 4. Lively discussion about ecumenism and other faiths. Nobody turned up for Justice and Peace meeting - Holy Land pilgrimage this week.
Served at Pax Christi mass for Franz Jaegerstatter - Bishop McMahon, Bruce Kent. Nice reception afterwards and saw Alan and Ivor and priest from Hanwell where Richard went.
