This morning I went to worship at the Chiesa San Giorgio, just across the basin from San Marco or three stops on the vaporetto. Liz & Geoff go there every Sunday and I joined them to see my work on display. Liz said my poster must have worked there was ore people there than usual. This week I was lucky because there was a visiting accapello choir who were wonderful. I met francesco, my friend from the internet shop on my way in and was introduced to Dom Andrew MacNeill from Edinburgh who is a monk there. I had heard various people speak of him but hadn’t met him before. He found me his service book in english and it also had the Bible readings for the day marked. Liz kept me in the right place and I enjoyed the service. Of course I couldn’t go for communion as I had told Dom Andrew I was a Methodist. After the service Francesco introduced me to another of the Monks & told him it was me who had helped him with the poster and he thanked me profusely. Francesco said he had had to alter to poster so that italian and English versions were on the same one, the monks didn’t want separate ones.
Liz, Geoff, and American and myself were invited to join Don Andrew for a cup of coffee and we had a lovely chat. His sister lives in Headingley and he knew my part of West Yorkshire.
