2 organ recitals and interfaith group

Watched Sacred Music 1 on computer and Songs of Praise form Harrogate featuring Simon Lole at the organ, also Antiques roadshow about sport from Lord's. Started framing pictures and sorting out ironing.
To Windmill pub for lunch with David and Jim and then walked to St Michael's for recital by Laurence Caldecote of Coventry. He played William Lloyd Webber, Boccherini, Suite gothique, Alec Rowley Benedictus, Willan on "Vulpius", Norman Cocker's Angelus and Salome's Grand-Choeur in A. A tuneful lunchtime programme. Coffee in the cafe with the recitalist and Graham who is starting to compile next year's list. I suggested I could do a recital!
To Hinsley Room for interfaith group. 12 came and we started looking at the Muslim scholars comments to the churches on Love of God. A lively discussion for an hour on what does it mean to say "I love God". We felt that we had lost awe and mystery.
To mass but too late to serve - there were 7 servers any way. Picked up umbrella from Hinsley Room and saw Mary Woolgar at Justice and Peace group.
Fast train to East Croydon for 7 p.m. recital at the Parish church by Andrew Cantrill. 20 there including Adrian and Peter Wright. Langlais, Couperin, Vierne, Balbastre, Dupre. After all that French music silly Ives on "America". Saw Andy Scott and Martin How. Tram and bus home to watch The Apprentice part 3. Liz had taken new kitchen doors to Bow.
