York

Waking up in the centre of York to the sound of bells sets you up well for the day. I ws in York to visit St Michael le Belfrey which has always been a pioneer of sorts. They were one of the first churches in Briktain to experience charismatic renewal, the first to set up a drama group: now a professional theatre company Riding Lights. They also pioneered the use of dance and music and as we discovered this morning the serving of coffee half way through the service... Revolutionary!
They were also pioneers in the creative use of church buildings experimenting early on with church cafés. So it was grat to be with them today and discovering that they were still experimenting.
Driving home I have lots of stuff to think about... Are about to follow the same journey as they are? Such a lot to do before I go back to work.
