Afternoon tea in St James
It was a wet Sunday morning and, umbrella-less, I opted to remain indoors. But the celebration continued at the Royal Over-Seas League in Park Place, St James over afternoon tea. A rather convenient club backing on to Green Park, behind

Return to Laurent

Holy Play: Liturgy as Theatre

Chichester Cathedral
A glorious source of many photos which I will share more fully when I return (be warned). The pervading figure is St Richard of Chichester. The Shrine of St Richard of Chichester is a wonderful sight, backed by a tapestry

This morning I took the train from Victoria Station to Chichester. It was rather ironic that last night I saw a production of ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’, and this morning I was eating breakfast outside the Left Luggage Room

The Importance of being Ernest
Well, this just wasn’t my favourite production of Oscar Wilde’s play – some miscasting certainly. Modern as it maybe, and unpopular to say so, but Algernon cannot be black. It simply does not fit the story. I couldn’t adjust visually

The Savoy Grill
‘In for a penny, in for a pound’ – several pounds I imagine. I haven’t been to the Savoy Grill since 1981. It is now under the auspices of Gordon Ramsay, though it was not evident what he has to

Final day at St Dunstan’s
One final session this morning with some discussion of practical catholic mission ideas led by Luke Miller, Archdeacon of London. Then a final Mass for evangelism, again led by Bishop Jonathan Baker who had hosted last evening’s conference dinner at
