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

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

The Kitchen

 Our new apartment will be equipped with toilet and bathroom etc. but not with anything at all in the kitchen. Not even a sink. So we need to purchase a kitchen and engage a kitchen fitter. A friend who knows how to fit kitchens suggested buying an Ikea kitchen. "They're guaranteed twenty years and they honour their guarantee", he said. "I've proved it". Well I don't know any other kitchen laces in France, and I can't imagine there's much that's cheaper than Ikea, so I was happy to accept his advice. So it was that on Monday I booked an appointment with the Ikea Kitchen Planning Service in the centre of Bordeaux. The woman was friendly. "You've already started the process", she said, (have we?) "so that will save us lots of time". "What are you aiming for?" Something not too country, something discreet, something that can adapt to whatever colours we put in the rest of the room. She understood our dislike of
