I'm about to pack for Massachusetts. In contradistinction to the previous visits I've made, I suspect my web access will be severely limited this time around. I could pack a laptop, but I'm thinking that perhaps I shouldn't bother. Too much weight. So, you won't be hearing a heck of a lot from me for a week (I might be wrong, I suppose; maybe even Marblehead has an internet café).
Just a short note: we had a joint meeting of all the deaneries in the Diocese of Southwark last night. The deputy mayor of London came to speak to us (rather unctuous and fishing for Tory votes in Southwark, a lost cause, I'm sure) and the area Bishop and the Archdeacon spoke as well.
The whole thing was my idea, and I got a name-check from the Archdeacon, which will be useful if I decide to run for General Synod next time around.
See ya!
