Kevin Dowling

To the Tablet lecture in the cathedral hall - not as many there as last year. Sat with Kim Burke. Bishop Kevin Dowling of Rustenburg was eloquent on what the North can learn from the poor of the South and the questions were good and well answered. Near the end the lights failed and we were told there was a local power cut. People headed for the wine but really the hall should have been cleared. No emergency lights at all and I have queried this with Canon Christopher. A couple of ladies I spoke to do not like the new magazine format.
