Gifts of the Spirit

 Madeline's letter appeared on Facebook. Ed Murphy has resigned from Catenians after really bad treatment. Blackfriars Mass. To Woodcote Green garden centre to look at sandstones and chose Harvest. Coffee and cake. Back for Facebook lecture on Victorian churches by Prof Whyte and then Sion centre zoom with Sr Therese on gifts of the Spirit - it was a little dull! Still thinking about last night's zooms. Priests who are overworked and depressed, others who don't know the people or don't turn to volunteer groups for help, people preferring online to the "real thing". Why we need to gather (a prehistoric need to be round the fire away from the dark and fear) Lack of teaching about Christ in the assembly, in the Word and in the Bread and Wine. How we can strengthen our communities. Reaching those who do not have the technology. How do we bring the domestic church into liturgy? How do we address the rising need for mental health care and why are BAME missing out? A good zoom with John Pritchard about plans for the choir. Zoom with LS went well. Lots of energy. Prom was Beethoven 7 from memory Aurora and Nicholas Conlon. Tom Service jumping about. Elephant hospital.
