THE RECTOR'S RAMBLINGS
The Rector's Ramblings are Kevin's weekly musings on recent global,
parochial and personal events. They may also reflect on some aspect of the scriptures that are pertinent today.
Olive and I attended the opening service of vespers for Ecumenical Bible Week in All Hallows’ chapel. This will be the home of St Mary’s Cathedral parish (formerly the Pro Cathedral) for the next two years while the cathedral and offices are renovated. The Palestrina Choir had the congregation hypnotised with their music. It was a privilege to have the company of the founding members of the Ecumenical Bible Week present as we gave thanks for the life of Fr Kieran O’Mahony.
If you have time, I recommend dropping across to All Hallows any Friday for choral vespers at 5.00pm. The music is guaranteed to lift you to another dimension.

I have a sad update about our hens. One of the dark-feathered ones died last week. She had become increasingly listless and had stopped eating over the previous few days. We treated her for worms and infection, but sadly, by then, it was too late.
The children received the news with some sadness, although their immediate concern was perhaps a little more practical: where would we bury her or, as one child wondered, would Olive and I simply cook her for dinner?
The remaining hens have also slowed down considerably, producing just one egg a day between them. I don’t think this is due to mourning or a work-to-rule. They are moulting, and growing a new set of feathers takes quite a lot of energy. So, for the moment, eggs are back on the rectory shopping list!
