Quick Catch up
Been a busy few days - Britain even got a new prime minister!

The London Event was a good day. The worship and stuff I was organising seemed to work in the end. There was some challenging input around the issues of slavery and justice, and attendance was reasonable for a first attempt.

There's a whole load of stuff being planned in London for Pentecost 2008. The plan is to be festival focusing on the positive stuff the church offers, a "gift from the church to the capital". Should be good, I met with someone about that a couple of days ago and they're looking at how to involve young people creatively.

Pentecost
It's Pentecost today - celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Was good to be at West Ham's stadium for the London Global Day of Prayer event.
While in some ways I wonder about such gatherings in terms of use of resources, there was something inspiring about being part of today's event. It was especially good that the event seemed to reflect some of the realities of church in London - it was definitely a multi-cultural event, with the Black majority churches taking a major role, and some authentic Indian-subcontinent flavoured worship. Seemed good to be in such a gathering on Pentecost.

All in all a good event to be part of.
