• Inspirational Conversations: How to change the world

  25/07/2015

  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.

  Steven McQuitty who is a regular reader and occassional commenter on this blog has asked for suggestions of places to eat when he’s in Glasgow sometime soon. He’s staying at the CitizenM hotel, which I think is that new one with all the rather striking lampshades that is just down from the Theatre Royal where…
