May 13, 2006 with the help of Martin Ford and Helene la Rue. Magdalen college with Martin who I knew from Croydon Parish church and time in Armagh. David Stevens at Oriel college. The town hall has a fine Willis organ. Lunch at Christ church college. Pembroke college with Edward Mitchard. Exeter college with Carlene Mills. Hertford college where Christian Strover was scholar. Back to Magdalene for practice with Grayston Ives and evensong. 6 organs.
The episcopal ordination of Bishop John Arnold. I held his crozier . A wonderful moment was when the open book of the gospels was held above his head during the consecration
Bishop Charles was buried at St George's cathedral. I knew Joy well as I was vice-chair of the Southwark unity commission for several years. I once asked Bishop Charles "How long do we have to wait for unity?" His urbane replay "We have come so far John"
A letter from Bishop Charles. I played the awful organ at Aylesford.
