  • 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.

One response to “Prayers on converting a Civil Partnership into a Marriage”

    I am in a Civil Partnership in London, and am a dual US/UK citizen. I have also just turned 62, and am applying for my US Social Security pension. One question on the form is: Are you married? We are intending to convert the partnership into a marriage at the earliest possible time but are legally not married at the moment. Thus this question is complicated. I am a kind of Schroedinger’s Cat: both Not Married and Married at the same time. I have tried to explain that to the US Government, but am unable to discover whether I have done so successfully.
