The organist librarian

Gave out Explore leaflets before the marriage anniversaries Mass at St George's cathedral Southwark. It was good to several friends there celebrating!! To Battersea Park peace pagoda and lots of speeches on a rather cold afternoon. Pat Gaffney and the Mayor of Wandsworth spoke well. Good to see friends there and the sister from Amaravati monastery. Fr John celebrated at the cathedral and smashing Franck chorale No. 3 at the end. Good chat to  Peter Stevens .

Met Sister Sheila on Thornton Heath station and told her about John Ennor being in Mayday. To Oxford Circus and arrived a little late for the meditation session at London Fo Guang Chinese Buddhist Temple in Margaret Street. No idea it was there! Very helpful guidance sheet. Coffee, cakes and chocs - my friend the monk from Battersea Peace pagoda was there. Shocked to find Mowbrays bookshop is closed. To Baker Street and walk in the rain to Regents Park mosque - Bishop John joined us and about 100. We were given a nice brochure and a very short introduction and invited to pray silently in the mosque. I thought of the psalms "O pray for the peace of Jerusalem" "Out of the deep" If only Israel would trust in the Lord! Pat Gaffney from Pax Christi and several people I know - lots of Catholics! Bus to Baker Street and underground to Rayners Lane. The Zoroastrian centre is a converted 30s cinema in Harrow - 3 million spent on it. Lunch brought from Birmingham by Sachkhan ...
