Still no women bishops

Yet another wet and miserable day today.  An exciting one though for Tom and Mary.  It was Tom's first day of Work Experience and he is working with professional photographer, Mandy, at Wilton for two weeks helping her design some new flyers initially.  for Mary, she spent today at her new secondary education school, St. Edmunds for Girls in Salisbury.  Both quite new experiences for them.  I drove into Salisbury early for a dental appointment - I need another couple of small fillings - and then on to Sarum College to pick up a library book and the Cathedral where I joined the Rural Dean and others for half an hour of a prayer vigil for the General Synod meeting today.  The result of the deliberations on whether there should be Women Bishops ended in an adjournment on the issue until the Synod meets again in November.  No women bishops for the time being.  Before returning home I called in at the gym for half an hour.  Back home I spent the afternoon working on the tribunal case.  tonight, Sara and I watched the highly acclaimed film "The Help" which is concerned with the plight of black maids in Mississippi in the early 1960s and the whole Civil Rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jnr. Very tired tonight - especially after the visit to the gym.
