NEW DAWN IN THE CHURCH...

...is the name of a big gathering that has been taking place at Walsingham for some years. They have invited me to be among the speakers this year, and I went to the organising group, based in Liverpool, for the weekend to learn about it all and discuss things...

It turned out to be an immensely interesting weekend, with a most useful afternoon of talks with Myles Dempsey, initiator of the whole project. Then a  lively tralkative supper with young people associated with the Prince of Peace Community house where it is all based...a lady from Ireland, a couple from Austria, a priest from Zambia, a girl from Germany...we ended up having a fascinating discussion about languages and accents, revealing in the end all sorts of things about habits and ideas and customs...much laughter and also much thoughtful stuff...
