Was sent -- well, had to go -- to Coventry, today:
and managed to make a diversion via one of my favourite
buildings: the cathedral... -- a place with a whole heap of resonance
(even for someone with very little religion).

A little bit of history.

THE LITANY OF RECONCILIATION...
All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God...

The hatred which divides nation from nation,
race from race, class from class.
Father, Forgive

The covetous desires of people & nations
to possess what is not their own.
Father, Forgive

The greed which exploits the work of human
hands & lays waste the earth.
Father, Forgive

Our envy of the welfare &
happiness of others.
Father, Forgive

Our indifference to the plight of the imprisoned,
the homeless, the refugee.
Father, Forgive

The lust which dishonours the bodies of men,
women & children.
Father, Forgive

The pride which leads us to trust in
ourselves & not in God.
Father, Forgive

Be kind to one another, tender hearted,
forgiving one another as God in Christ
Forgave You...
