The first of our 'guest speaker' services (for the Week of Christian Unity) saw a Salvation Army colonel take to the pulpit. I wondered whether they were used to speaking from such a high and lofty position? She seemed entirely comfortable up there, however, and spoke with an assured authority.
We enjoyed singing 'O taste and see' (Vaughan Williams) a capella, as solo, SATB, solo, SATB - the choir master seemed pleased with how it went and the fact that it stayed perfectly in tune. Apparently some keys are easier to do this in than others, which is a great source of fascination to him. I'm not sure whether 'O taste and see' was chosen as an invitation to the soup lunch after the service, but as we had other plans we didn't follow our own advice.
