A celebratory evening...

...at St Patrick's, Soho Square, for the launch of an excellent new paperback, A Pure Heart Create for me, on the Theology of the Body. It's a very good read, and much recommended. Young Robert Colquhoun, who edits it, ran the day conference on the subject - mentioned on this Blog - in London a few days back.All this is evidence of many good creative new things being done by the younger generation in the Church in Britain. The launch of the book included some excellent talks on Humanae Vitae and related topics, ending on a challenging note with a call to raise awareness of the Govt's ghastly scheme - meant to start in 2011 - for compulsory "sex education" for children from the age of 5...

St Patrick's is a wonderful church - beautiful and crowded and peaceful and prayerful and active all at the same time. It never seems to be empty, but even when there are lots of young people around, it's never just chatty. Upstairs, supper in a packed room after the talks in the church. Bishop Peter Elliott is visiting London from Australia - he's a friend of JandJBogle going back 30 years...
