Interfaith forum

No swim as woke late after another restless night. Both on 9.30 train. To Hinsley room to host Boroughs interfaith forum - really good meetings 30 at each and 6 of my group attended including Margaret who I don't know and rabbited on! Discussed riots and British transport police policy also the Fire Brigade. After a break discussed Olympic truce. Charlies from Wormwood Scrubs was most impressive and Elizabeth Simon as direct as usual. Saw Campion. Malik was teasing me about lunching at Marks which was middleclass! To Edgware Road to see "Casting Jesus" film from Tablet review - well done. Underground to Mansion House and discovered good coffee and sofas at St Mary Aldermary. Excellent Justshare talk by Nick Spencer of Theos about the political influence of the Bible. This was in a crypt, drunk woman left eventually. Asked a question and mentioned S.A. so several people spoke to me. Alan Carr on Who do you think you are. A stimulating day.Liz served at ordination of new bishop John Sherrington.
