...Father James Tolhurst,prolific author, and a family friend of longstanding: he married Jamie and me back in 1980 at St Elphege's, Wallington. We had a delicious lunch and talked and talked...we share a publisher, and swapped news and info on current projects: Fr Jim's latest book on prayer has become deservedly popular. He's also something of a Newman scholar...
Back at home, busy sorting through some of the huge stacks of entries from children at Catholic primary schools across Britain in the Association of Catholic Women's Schools' RE Project. Children were asked to study and write about the Rosary, focussing specifically on some of the Joyful and Luminous Mysteries. The standard of work is high: we are always being told that Catholic schools don't teach the Faith, none of the children know anything, etc etc but that is just not true - here are great stacks of essays from children who have been taught all about the Rosary and been set to study it in some depth.
