...in the gentle sogginess of February, flights of birds in a wide grey sky, sheets of shining water on fields, children on half-term in wellies and rainproofs. We were at Fawley Court for a conference of Aid to the Church in Need. Fascinating presentation on the state of the Church across Latin America - there are good projects there that are very well worth supporting, and ACN needs funds in order to do so - and also one on India. This last was from John Pontifex, recently returned from Orissa, where Christians have been killed, their homes burned, and many forced to flee following attacks by an extremist Hindu cult...which uses the swasticka as its traditional symbol...
Our conference was for the various diocesan organisers for ACN across Britain - good discussions, lively talk, a beautiful early morning Mass in the panelled chapel, a lovely evening reception at which a generous supporter welcomed us to her home.
