Standing together

An enjoyable workshop on still life with acrylics at Bethlem and John O'Donnell's paintings really are affirmations of life. Liz at St Joseph's college celebrations. Great preaching at Standing together. If you have woodworm in your posterior you need to get and do something! Saw the Cardinal and Marcin - his address was really excellent! Bishop of Southwark and Bishop of Croydon and lots of black church leaders who really know how to get the crowd going. Big demo about Sudan. A very long confirmation but all did well. Bishop John Wilson was just great. I am now pretty tired after a long stand this afternoon but so glad I went. I found myself shouting Amen in response to the preachers!!! Jesus is the answer to violence and knife crime but we need youth centres, libraries, more and better housing, more police on the beat, more care for each other. All this costs money and time but we must have hope. Tosca from Met on radio 3 with Calleja.
