An incredibly busy day today - and a very long one too. Most of today was spent at Sarum College on the first of this academic year's Ministry's formation days. The day started with morning worship in the chapel followed by four session on Anglicanism. We studied the 39 Articles of Faith, the Canons of the Church of England, something of the history of the church and its diversity. The basic study was essentially to understand the origins and structure of the church in which we will be ministering. As prospective ministers we need to have a clear understanding of what it is to be an Anglican. On the way home I listened to the final minutes of Southampton's match against QPR. A brilliant win for Saints - 1-3! Although it doesn't lift Southampton out of the relegation zone it lifts them off the bottom and gives them a fighting chance of getting out of the bottom zone before Christmas. tonight, Grimsby town are on top of the Conference League. If they can stay on top it will be a miracle but miracles do happen! I think their only way of ensuring promotion back to league football is for them to have the top spot at the end of the season. The two Welsh teams, Wrexham and Newport County, look strong too. This evening Sara and I hosted another murder mystery party; but this time not in our own home but at James and Sam's. With James having his broken leg we decanted all the food, drinks and crockery to their house. Andrew, the curate, and his wife Sarah joined us for a really fun evening. It was strange to see a man of the cloth dressed in a turban! The greatest fun was when one was unsure as to whether the person one was speaking to was in or out of character. A really fun evening - and another late one!
