The organist librarian

Played Walter Webber and Neils Gade on Lobe den herren. A new recruit in the choir and we sang Robinson's Lord give me faith. To St Paul's cathedral to hear the wonderful Patrick Woodhouse (no relation) speak about Ettie Hillesum. Played for evensong at St John Caterham - Andrew Moore pieces. To iftar at Hyderi mosque Streatham - 4 speakers on extremism and a good meal. Liz went to South London's president's lunch at Lorenzo's having been to Our Lady of Victories for Mass celebrated by Fr  Tony T homas. 

To the SPIDIR AGM at Southwark cathedral. The reason our group have not been asked to go any spiritual direction since we finished the course in June 2015 is because the database is in a mess. We now have a new committee! A pleasure to meet Rev Patrick Woodhouse (descended from Liverpool born John Woodhouse famous for marsala wine for Nelson) and he spoke on the psalms. His book is excellent. To the new Tate Modern - very confusing and lifts far too slow and not enough of them! The bridge on level 4 is scary. Unimpressed by much of the work and the Bhupen Kharkar exhibition! Thameslink not running so train to Denmark Hill and 468 bus.Liz went to Calne to investigate the Bodinnars.  To Bromley circle - a small attendance at a good venue. I was very surprised to learn that the Catenian bursary fund will not support work on an ecological project in view of Laudato Si'.
