Sunday

It turned out the C of E had a different gospel so the plan to play "Behold the lamb of God" from Messiah was shelved. Instead I played Archer on Evelyns, Thalben-Ball on St James and Walther on Jesu meine freude and to mark the start of the week of prayer for Christian unity (which wasn't mentioned) Thiman on Harwood's Thornbury. The church was perishing cold and only 14 present! After lunch I went to the annual forum of Churches together in Upper Norwood at the Salvation Army. The only song I knew was Onward Christian soldiers. It was hard to hear the comments from the floor. Met Ben Goodyear from Brixton and invited him to interfaith lunch. Watched Christmas University challenge, Still open all hours and Call the midwife.  Good evensong from Bath Abbey and broadcast from Glasgow.
