A solemn eucharist

Day 30

Since it's General Conference weekend, we didn't have church this morning. So instead, we decided to go see a church service at the priory church of St. Bartholomew the Great. The St. Paul's tube stop was closed (I swear, half the tube was shut down today). So we walked all the way from Chancery in the rain. It's the first good rain we've had since we've been here. Welcome to London! We went to a solemn eucharist. I guess St. Bart's is the only place in London where Mary has appeared to someone, and today was the anniversary of it, so the service was all about the Virgin Mary, which was kind of different. The choir was really beautiful in the church. They also used the censor a lot. Which puts off a remarkable amount of smoke. And despite the fact that it's a large church, with very high cielings, the people across the aisle were starting to look pretty hazy by the end. It was a good experience though. I enjoyed it.
