The workshop sessions

I'll post some more photographs soon - that's what you REALLY want, I know. Before that, though, here's the basic outline of the sessions we held.

Glen Knecht spoke from his long experience about ministry. He and his wife served as missionaries in Iran and he has long pastoral experience in the USA. He is in his seventies and currently Associate Pastor at 4th Presbyterian Church in Bethesda, Maryland. He's the author of The Day God Made. He spoke about The Christian Servant's Inner Life, Obstacles in Service, Patterns of Service, Patterns of Study, Parenting, Preaching and Pastoral Counselling.

Eugene Boyer is one of the elder statesmen of Christian work in France and has a great concern for the church that we are currently attached to here. Eugene spoke from Psalm 133 and from his long experience of work in France.

Other folks spoke on The Arab World and How It Thinks, one brother preached from Psalm 117, another spoke about immigrant churches in France, and another spoke from his experience of moving with his work (he's a techie) and urged us to consider our situations as neither permanent or temporary.

(A favourite line from the film Moonstruck - Everything's temporary, that's no excuse!)

I mind-mapped the sessions in my new Moleskine. Yes! Like Ernest Hemingway etc. I now have a Moleskine. Watch out!

It was my birthday this week and I have lots of shirts and enough trousers... I couldn't think of anything that I'd really like and that would be worth getting. (Am I getting too old for this world?)

Then I thought of a Moleskine. I have always admired them but they are expensive really. So that's what I received. A lovely black Moleskine.

Cracking.

Okay then, so what about a picture of the moleskine, resplendent with occupant? Let's just hope the site doesn't get closed down though.

(Yes, I know, doesn't like cameras etc. Methinks (that perhaps) he doth protest too much.)

You have got to be kidding! I can't keep it still long enough to take a photo.

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...
