Racial discrimination
Yesterday we started, and today we continued, our work on racial discrimination. Bishop Joe Aldred has been leading the weekend, and is brilliant. He provides a very interesting view on British black identity, and is keen to move away from a solely oppression-based theology to one based around Respect (note that his book with this title was published before Tony Blair started to use the phrase!).The Taizé service went well last night. We'd intended to do four songs, but ran out of time, so only did four. I'm so out of practice, and, as on previous occasions, had to rely more on technique than I would have liked, but I was generally pleased, and other people were very complimentary. It's a gift that it's fantastic to be able to share.
