• The Forum: Frikki Walker

    Last Sunday the speaker at our Forum meeting was Frikki Walker, St Mary’s Director of Music.

    His forum was a tour de force and kept the audience entranced as he educated, opined and inspired us. Together we talked about favourite music, the composer he would most like to be locked into a church with, what makes a musician and what makes music at St Mary’s so special.

    We thought about what matters most, the music or the words. And we had a go a the question that was raised in a forum a few weeks ago as to whether it matters whether a church musician believes.

    Take a look.

    I am not going to give a pill by pill commentary on each of the 20 pink pills that the Vet has entertainingly suggested I put into the cat. However, Pill 5 was a good one.Madam likes hard, crunchy cheesy cat treats which she sometimes gets from my mother for Christmas. They are very smelly.…

  • Sermon – 5 March 2006

    When I was in Sunday School, I remember singing a little song which went like this: When you see a rainbow, remember, God is love. When you see a rainbow, remember, God is love. And the truth is, I’ve found it hard ever since to look at a rainbow without that going through my head.…
