Easter 3
Weird dream about a staff meal out and people turning up who I knew but could not remember their names. I played For as in Adam, Worthy is the Lamb and Amen chorus. I had a wave of emotion at the first tenor entry of Amen - will I ever sing that again? Also Michael Fleming on Noel nouvelet and Pachelbel. We sang Now the green blade and A brighter dawn is breaking. Zoom chat and Bridget West brought a rose. Blackfriars. Bach from Royal Academy and played by Richard Brasier. Excellent Sermon from Southwark and Piers Maxim's piece Strength and stay. The evensong from Southwark cathedral for Prince Philip was splendid. Excellent sermon by Bishop Christopher. Brahms and Nun danket at the end. Timothy West read a sonnet. Tea in the sunny garden and uprooted fuschias. Vespers from Belmont. Antiques road show and Call the midwife.
Monday another early wake up and dropped off. Blackfriars, SMITF. Zoom with Colette and we joined the prayer vigil outside the cathedral. Henry and Dennis came and we sat happily in the sunshine in the garden. Nazareth community quiet time was lovely. Balham Catenians chat. Zoom SPIDIR event for the diocese went really well.
Tuesday another restless night. At least my ear is not hurting any more thanks to Earol spray. Blackfriars and STML. Wonderful GCCM webinar with Dr Jane Goodall and Cdnl Turkson. Essex interfaith group. Karin rang - very agitated. Sion centre with Sr Gemma Simmonds on remember him/her. She is quite right that the washing of the feet has been made liturgical once a year only. Do we need Catholic schools? Allen Morris 30 years ordained today we need Catholics working in non-Catholic schools. Quiet time. Hindu funeral of Ganesh's wife. Jeremiah Stephenson playing Widor, Schumann, Franck and Vierne and scores provided. Aid to the Church in Need report. Adrian Richards playing the Dorian and Stubley at King's Lynn Minster. Iftar from Bromley mosque. 2 excellent programmes on the Stephen Laurence enquiry.
Wednesday latest report says racism is disappearing in UK - not true alas. Jane is finishing end of April but will still have a role. Blackfriars, SMITF. Stakeholders meeting for London Climate Action week. Meditatio.
