We miss so much of the beauty of the English language when we dumb-down the words.
Not so at St Mary-Le-Strand to which I returned this morning for their Sung Eucharist.
I was the only member of the congregation. It was very special.

I had been promised incense and I wasn’t disappointed.

Fr David Lawrence-March presided and the organist and I belted out the hymns.


It sounds wonderful, special, funny and memorable.
