  • Inspirational Conversations: How to change the world

    Last week I had some inspirational conversations on Sunday with David Kenvyn, who is the verger at St Mary’s and one of the servers.

    David was talking about his involvement in the anti-apartheid movement.

    Now, lots of people in the UK can rightly think of themselves as part of that struggle, but David has been stuck right into it all his life. Indeed, he had first hand memories of Nelson Mandela and Trevor Huddleston.

    I found the whole conversation hugely inspiring and made me think a lot about the amazing gifts that people have to offer around the altar in St Mary’s.

    If you want a bit of inspiration, take a look at the videos.

      Is offered to sustain thinking regarding the environment. As an organization we need assurance that this issue is being taken seriously and with intent throughout the church. Need to decide locally how best to proceed in this area.

        He appears now to be talking about a second amendment which we cannot see. Chair has not yet taken a vote on the first amendment. (Fear confusion ahead)
