A G M P E F

It's a good job I believe in belonging to things.

Because I am a Pasteur Associé (missionary pastor) and church member I belong to the UNEPREF.
I am also an elder in our church in North Wales, so I belong to the AECW.
I also belong to MPEF, which is our mission's identity in France.
But also because I belong to MPEF I am also a member of the Réseau FEF.
FEF and MPEF belong to the CNEF.
The UNEPREF belongs to the FPF.
And our mission is of course UFM.

So that makes, in alphabetical order :

AECW - Associating Evangelical Churches of Wales
CNEF - Conseil National des Evangéliques de France
Réseau FEF - Réseau Fraternel Evangélique Français
FPF - Fédération Protestante de France
MPEF - Mission Protestante Evangélique de France
UFM - UFM doesn't stand for anything any more
UNEPREF - Union Nationale des Eglises Protestantes Réformées Evangéliques de France

Jolie, non ?

Anyway, all that to say that we're all very excited ! We all have to go to Paris next month for a few days to the Annual General Meetings of MPEF. Not only that but some friends (one of whom I have never met) have invited us to stay on in Paris for a couple of days at their place. They have lots of room, apparently.

So we have our tickets. We'll be going by TGV. I wonder if I can persuade the family to walk from Montparnasse to the Arc de Triomphe... It's a good way to see some of the sights of Paris.

Hi Alan
Why don't you take the bus to the Arc? It used to be the no 14 to go up the Champs Elysées and around l'étoile - happy memories - one of my favourite routes! and more comfortable sightseeing! If you have strong nerves the buses around Montmartre are suite something too.

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. France - 3 cycles, each taking about 4 years, with 3ème cycle being roughly equivalent to grade 8. Theory of music - UK to take grade 8 you need theory grade 5. 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...

Good news from my sermon buddy

Yesterday we went over my script from August 13. There really wasn't much she had taken exception to. Once or twice she wondered quite what I was getting at (they had the same problem at Deeside, I think...) and I do have difficulties with the word " de ", but then she said "Who doesn't?" So I felt very encouraged. I also took the opportunity to ask her about one or two things: 1) Direct preaching. Like I used to in Britain, I preach saying you - using "vous" when I am talking to the whole wide world and "tu" when I want it to feel as if I am addressing each person individually. French preachers tend to say rather "What will we do, what will one do". So I asked her if she felt my way was too direct, too brutal for the French ear. She said "I think you can get away with it with your English accent". In fact several people have commented on how much they appreciated being spoken to directly in preaching. 2) Liaisons Last...

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. I...
