To win the nation for Christ in the next thirteen years

The Free Church Moderator's visionary challenge. This is a long read, but very worthwhile. John Ross raises issues that exist far beyond the bounds of Scotland.

I was privileged to be there when this excellent address was given.

It will be very interesting to see how we, as a denomination, respond to this vision over the next 13 years.

Yes, this was an interesting and highly motivating address. My only prayer is that the Free Church would do more than nod sagely at its wisdom and carry on regardless. It is too easy to feel satisfied with being moved by a powerful address. Much harder to act on it.

John Ross spoke with a positively prophetic voice on this occassion. may the Spirit give us in the Free Church ears to hear.

Thanks

A bit about music exams in UK and France

They're really different. I think I have already mentioned that while in the UK people generally find a private teacher for their instrument, or do it through a school scheme, here there are municipal music school, conservatoires and so on. The situation is a little more complex than I had first understood, because the schools vary in the rigidity of their organisation: the most, the conservatoires, next the municipals, then the associations. Our music school is an association, but it tends to apply the standards of the municipal schools with its programme of cycles, etc. Britain - grade 1 to 8, grade 8 being roughly equivalent to A-level, pre university/conservatoire.

In France you study theory alongside your instrumental studies, very slowly. Catrin's flute music is MUCH more difficult than the stuff she does in theor

A brief sortie to North Wales

 Following the Great Keswick Debacle, when our volunteering at the Keswick café was sabotaged by our assorted indispositions, we had airline tickets to use up. Yes, we had not taken travel insurance, so we paid even more money to change our tickets to fly for a short visit to North Wales. This time we were able to go. We passed extremely slowly through a very crowded Bordeaux airport but in good time to get our plane. All seats in the terminal were taken so we leaned against whatever we could find while waiting to board. Hey, bags need seats, too! though sometimes pointing out to Pat, "No, that's a bag seat", makes the bag find a new refuge on the lap of the person sitting next to it... Once on the plane we quickly found our allocated seats - right at the back on the left hand side - stowed our bags and the flight was smooth and uneventful.  We had 30 minutes in Manchester to disembark, get through immigration , hustle off to the station and board our train for Shotton.
