I went to the Cathedral Solemn Eucharist this morning and found great pleasure and solace in beautifully conducted service with three well chosen and concise hymns, a good sermon from the Dean, and fine unpretentious singing from the boys choir. All was well ordered without fuss. There was no mention of Father's Day or the World Cup football.
The Dean preached relevantly about the essentials - God and love - and we were drawn into worship of the Three in One without drama or exertion through the normal rhythm of the liturgy. It was most refreshing, and enabled me to spare a thought and a prayer for my home parish of Ystrad Mynach, and for the chaplaincy of Geneva, still fondly remembered, and about to welcome its third incumbent since I was there. How time flies.
