Today was an odd day. It has not been unusual to have a lecture, however today was three. They were all very good, there is a lot to chew on and digest as I go back over the notes and powerpoints in the future. Primarily, they had to do with the role that Wesleyan theology has to do with shaping the church and why we should be using this theology.
Even though they were all very good lectures, it was a lot to ingest. Much prayer and discernment will be needed to take it all in.
Before going to compline, I went and spent time with some fellow pilgrims that I didn't know before this trip. Then we returned for evening prayers, and immediately following that, I went out with John and Jim (another fellow pilgrim) primarily for a change of scenery. We were able to discuss a lot of theology and just get to know each other better overall.
Today really wasn't a picutre day, however a highlight was the Evensong service which took place before dinner at Salisbury Cathedral. Three shires were represented by a combined boys choir at this festival performance, a part of the 800th anniversary celebration of the Magna Carta. Within the first 3 minutes of the service, almost immediately after the choirs began singing, tears were going down my face. There was just something about the sound the choir was making reverberating off of the stone walls in this massive place... it was moving.
Today was a good day. A lot to think on / pray on. Overall, I find myself fortunate to be in the midst of this opportunity of a lifetime.
