...marking his birthday. An excellent lecture at St Mary's University by Bishop Philip Egan, looking in depth at Newman's Idea of a University and applying its message to our own time. Scholarly, thoughtful, challenging, and somehow offering a message of hope and reassurance for the future. It opened up wide channels of thought about what could be achieved...
And then, the next day, at Littlemore, a celebration of Newman's thoughts on beauty - in nature, in music, in architecture - with a superb lecture by Father Guy Nichols, followed by lovely music from a string quartet...the Sisters of The Work welcomed a good crowd of us and it was a joyful evening.
Thank God for the life and work of Bl John Henry Newman.
