The organist librarian

Quiet Friday - sent off rules for public speaking John Rayer had supplied them. Listened to Prom of Tallis scholars and skimmed Last Night from the parks cutting out the awful pop singers. To Gloucester Road for lovely dinner with Ginger, Philip and Jenny. To South London Liberal synagogue for Shabbat for Sukkoth and a second barmitzvah by a gentleman who grew up in Yeoville Johannesburg. Saw the transformed flat and this will be ready for a refugee samily in 2019. Visiting rabbi gave a good sermon on continuity and change.  I do like an organist who conveys his own joy in the music and Geoffrey Morgan did so at Bloomsbury Baptist in Bach, Elgar, Bridge and Parry. Liz did not get to Mass. Canon Christopher and lots of servers - the processions were too fast and a mess so practised it again. 

The Lord Mayor's show was terrific and we had great seats thanks to  Vicky Stone . Sean enjoyed it. To Swiss church for Focolare On the way to be one: exploring a spirituality of communion. Excellent speakers and bishops speaking of the pain of divisions. A variety too including a Bach cello suite. Old friends and new ones and great to see so many Catholics there. Acoustics bad. Fr Andrew Bowden at Mass and he sang beautifully. RCIA start. Royal British Legion festival of remembrance.
