Missed train so train to West Croydon and 207 bus which beat the train by 5 minutes. Music from The Little organ book in honour of Hubert Parry 1918. Sang Panis angelicus and the Schubert adapted for Walsingham. Postlude on a ground by Herbert Murrill. Good to see quite a few children at the service and Fr Jerry Garton did a great reflection on what we should be grateful for and could we share more. I certainly try to share my skills but the enemy is time! Trying to do too much can also be a problem. Good food, exercise, sleep all  matter. Selina Stone spoke at St Paul's "Was Jesus political?" In a broad sense Yes. I think the Dean changed my question which was really about getting people to vote and being engaged but it is true that we need to stop bickering in the church and take a stand. Political influence better than political power? Perhaps Yes think of Nazi Germany and the apartheid regime. Individuals can do so much especially on social media and so can communities e.g. Lord Alf Dubs and Citizens UK. How often should the Bishops speak out? After steak lunch back to Caterham for evensong 3 hours of my time spent reading The Tablet on the train. 2 there Barbara and Noel. PCC are to discuss the future of evensong. Antiques roadshow, Poldark.
