Durham Night Life

To Durham, again tonight to see my daughter, and after a fine pizza, to her church. This is by the market place infact as worship went on we, the hundred plus mostly young congregation, were treated to a passing display of the flotsam and jetsam of the streets of Sunday night Durham. Two girls with short skirts and long hair sheltering from the rain until they spotted the many worshippers singing in their direction. Another reaction to the discovery came from two young men who treated the unshocked worshippers to a great view of their unmasked buttocks.
It was a busy night in Durham, outside the church people partied whilst inside the people worshipped and recommitted themselves to changing the world... beginning with themselves.
And people wonder why I think faith communities are vital to regeneration.
