Low and High Church

This week was a bit more eventful than the previous; yes, most of the time was consumed by the reading of books and the writing of essays (and the doing of logic exercises); however, I managed to go out and do some other things as well.

On Tuesday, I attended a Shrove Tuesday meeting at the home of the vicar of St. Mary Mags (the really high church of last week); there, we had English pancakes, after which a group of us headed over to Hertfordd College and attended Complins sdervice there.

Wednesday was an Oxford Amnesty Lecture on Islam and Human Rights, which also turned out to be really interesting (and worth the £4 it cost to get in).

Earlier today, I went to a church on the low church side of things, an Evangelical Free Church, that was very similar to home; since it was a family service, it was quite reminiscent of Caring during the summer. After that, I went to Christ Church College for lunch, as they open their dining hall to University members on Sunday afternoon. Finally, this Sunday evening, I went to Evensong at Wadham's, where they had a good service followed by a nice meal.

And now I am back to essay-writing.

However, to give one humorous quote:

"There are two things in life you should never try: Scottish dancing, and incest." ~ The Bishop of Lincoln.

Tonight at our low church, a group of 6th-9th grade kids went bowling. It was kind of fun, seeing a new generation of youth getting together. Linda wasn't involved, which was a bit sad but hopefully it will be the start of something good.

It was wonderful talking with you yesterday.
