After leaving Haverhill I drove into London to park the car at North Greenwich tube station as I have lectures on Tuesday evening at Southwark and thought it daft to drive home and then catch the train to London.

Armed with laptop I camped in the Members Room of the Tate Modern for a while and managed to get the one seat with a power socket near it. This enabled me to write up my notes from the mission consultation I had ust done in Haverhill.

As I was thinking and searching for ideas that might support the Haverhill vision I was suddenly stunned with a sense of being spoilt and being incredibly fortunate as I looked out of the window from the room I was sitting in. I was also struck by a great creativity of the created human mind. Ancient and modern standing tall together and seemingly at ease with each other.

It was as if God was speaking through the diversity and showing that opposing styles can and do co-exist in a way that brings life and vitality. I was able to worhsip creator God as I looked across his city.

The view from there is one of the best of London. It’s possibly slightly better from the bar on Level 7 – and if you fancy standing me a drink I’ll happily meet you there!
