So, life is interesting here in London! This morning I went to Saint Augustine's for church, which was excellent. We did a blend of old hymns and contemporary songs, written prayers and informality, communion, and a really good sermon. They also said that they needed singers for their afternoon service, which I volunteered for. So, I stayed late for that, then returned at three for the service. In between then I had dinner and read chapter 5 of Living Traditions, which was the assignment for tomorrow. I don't think that too many things happened today that would really be of interest, except maybe for the party we had this evening. Our professors invited us over for British junk food - ginger beer, dandelion and burdock drink, flake chocolate, little cookies, chocolate balls, chicken, bacon cheese and cocktail flavored potato crisps, and so on. It was good - I guess these Brits have good taste in junk food :)
One other thing that was very interesting about this afternoon was that after the service the sound man was discussing British politics with me! I learned a lot about the way Parliament is set up, the upcoming election, parties, and so on.
Oh - one more thing: if you happen to be interested in the poetic angle of my life here, I wrote a little more of an overview of life
and it is available right here.So - all for now! Tomorrow starts a week on Judeo-Christianity, and I'm really looking forward to it! GStQ
