When I finally lost my fear of slipping, I did learn to ski. --so, may it doesn't matter whether you are falling or flying.... maybe when you lose your fear of falling, you will discover that you are flying.

I had just wondered whether you might already be planning to be there, is all. I'm sure there will be a more convenient opportunity to meet at some point as Kent is really not that far from London.Song in my Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108400300327113931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670296975576583968.post-6008891494615923252009-09-21T21:34:57.034+01:002009-09-21T21:34:57.034+01:00I am based in Kent, so not so far from Southwark.
...I am based in Kent, so not so far from Southwark.<br /><br />I am involved in a Parish Placement to discern a vocation, which commits me to my Parish each week, but there might be scope for change.<br /><br />I would love to be at Southwark, but I fear that Service times in Canterbury, might preclude it.<br /><br />I will think about it and see what I am doing first. I will know by tomorrow as I have a Parish meeting with my Vicar.Ernesthttp://www.i-church.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670296975576583968.post-32845504293794494142009-09-21T19:01:22.651+01:002009-09-21T19:01:22.651+01:00Ernest,

It is certainly heartening to be thinking about making a positive contribution there, especially after so many years of having no affiliation with any religious community. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to Sunday; I feel very lucky to be able to add my voice to the others at Leafy Suburb Church for Deacon Friend's first Eucharist. <br /><br />(Any chance you'll be at Southwark Cathedral on Sunday morning, too? I don't know where you are based...)Song in my Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108400300327113931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670296975576583968.post-25259522957656630292009-09-21T17:03:49.024+01:002009-09-21T17:03:49.024+01:00Song,
