Fr Matthew, who presided at Vespers a fortnight ago, wrote in his blog: Sunday was a busy one, even more than usual… in the afternoon we had something special – Sung Vespers and Benediction. This was a joint venture between ourselves and St Edward's Church, where one of our parishioners sings in the choir on Sunday evenings. We'd been planning it for quite a while, but it was worth waiting for. The 50-60 who were there had a treat, and the rest of you missed something out of the ordinary! Yours truly was celebrant and therefore had some sung parts to do, especially the initial Latin “ Deus in adjutorium meum intende ” (O God come to our aid), which I did at full volume, as I did the Collect prayer for Benediction later. The combined singers gave excellent accounts of, among other things, a Thomas Tallis "Magnificat" and a Palestrina setting of "Tantum Ergo." I Rev Marja and Bishop David at the reception on Monday was wafted back to my years in St David's Cathedral REV MARJA writes: I would like to everyone who came choir in the 60s.

OUR THANKS to Alison, the Orchestra and Choir for a most enjoyable concert on Friday in memory of Rita and Fred Waite. ARCHBISHOP BARRY last week received Honorary Fellowships from the youngest university in Wales and one of the oldest. He became the first person to receive an Honorary Fellowship from the newly formed Trinity University College, and on Friday he received the same award from Swansea University - given in recognition “of his devotion to the dioceses of Wales and to the principles of justice and forward-thinking beliefs that have characterised his long- standing role in the church”. An Honorary Fellowship is the highest honour that the University can bestow, and is awarded to those who have brought great distinction to the University or to the region. THE CHARITY COMMISSION has been conducting a public-benefit assessment of the Church Mission Society (CMS) to see whether it could show that it had met the public-benefit requirements now legally necessary for any charity if it is to retain charitable status. In its report, published on Tuesday, the Charity Commission concludes that the CMS “is operating for the public benefit”. They conclude that evangelism and conversion to Christianity “can be of public benefit”. MOTHERS' UNION WORLDWIDE DAY took place at St Mark’s yesterday, attended by several people from St Edward’s. Jolly Babarikuma, the former Mothers’ Union president of Uganda, was the guest speaker talking about her work with the MU Family Life Programme in Uganda and a project she runs for grandmothers.
