RAMBLING RECTOR

Zoom is all very well. We have been able to hold meetings and see relatives during lockdown. Bookshops have done a roaring trade in fancy books so that people can impress you with their reading choices should your attention stray during the fascinating discussion on the fishing habits of the ancient Egyptians. My technical advisor found a lovely photo of the aurora borealis as my backdrop for the filming of Compline (Night Prayer), a peaceful way to end the day.

You will be reading this just after the church has celebrated Pentecost, the birthday of the Church. It’s a good thing God can see through all our pretence and calls us to the reality of his love.
