The environmental theme continued today, with the Gospel Reading (all about scattering seed, growth and harvest), the sermon (about growth and tending small shoots) and the anthem 'Thou visitest the Earth' (rather appropriately by a chap called Greene). I began to think I'd slept through summer and woken up to find ourselves in the middle of the harvest festival. Evensong was quiet and dignified, in the way that only evensong can. Attwood's 'Teach me O Lord' was sung confidently, by a much larger choir than in recent months; we processed out to the rather delightful Canon in D by Pachebel - a total contrast to Verdi's 'Grand March' this morning.
