Building bridges

Enjoyed Angels of Mersey about chaplains last night. Up early and X68 to King's college London for Building Bridges seminar with Rowan Williams who I spoke to about Eliza Griswold. Daniel Madigan, Michael Redman, Siriol Davies, Hugh Goddard, Barbara Wood, Diana, Alan Gadd, David Stanley - quite a gathering! Excellent speakers on Death and resurrection in both traditions. The afternoon session on the art of dying and community involvement were outstanding and so was Bishop Tom Wright. I asked a question about Gerontius, purgatory and 19th century hymns about heaven and Bishop George Rowell of Europe said he would think about writing a new hymn about heaven! It was an excellent day. To Courtauld to see Mondrian/Nicholson (free to NUS students) and enjoyed the Impressionists and early works. To library to pick up book and then bus to Windmill Clapham Common for Catenian meeting and meal Balham circle. Croydon brothers there. Brian and Patrick. Chris a pain about Samoa and his cars!
