Quite a cool day!

The day has been varied and fun.
This afternoon we had the pleasure of the company of Rabbi Jonathan Magonet who spoke well on Judaism and gave me some new insights to the bible. He particularly took us through the 10 commandments, which actually are called 10 sayings in the original Hebrew and are not the importance crux of rues that we seem to have made them. More of that in another post!

This evening we were set free to worship in Canterbury. A number of us went to St Mary Bredin, some out of curiosity and myself for a more comfortable style that I can relax with. The service was great, loads of young people bringing words and pictures – but not surprisingly this was not everyones cup of tea. And, in one way, that is the beauty of the Church of England. She expresses herself in a variety of ways and somehow we all hold together in a healthy tension.

A few beers and whiskies, a good dose of football on Sky and now off to bed as morning worship is at 7.30. I may be there, but I need convincing that God is awake then for prayer himself!!!
