Marriage? Civil Partnership? a week in LE2

Well, the letter from archbishops Vincent Nicholls and Peter Smith, has come and gone. It was meant to be read out this weekend. The church I attend did not benefit from the oral version, Thank God, and the existence of the paper version was pointed out by the priest at the end of mass. The homily was largely about the ten commandments with a link to the NT about the primacy of love. I never knew that the commandment about nor stealing referred to kidnap (stealing people) or so a hebrew bible scholar has argued.

This week in Leicester. Theme of the week seems to be outsiders.

Monday sees anti gypsy and traveller permanent site demonstration. DMU production of The Laramie Project starts on Monday also at Curve. This was sparked by the murder of gay teenager Matthew Shephard in Wyoming.

Tuesday archbishop Vincent at the university.

Station Mass at Holy Cross Wednesday 7.30. Philharmonia at DMH Wednesday.

Thursday first night of Gypsy at Curve. 7pm.

Saturday 17th St Patrick's day mass at St Patrick's with the bishop.
Canvassing in Queens Road against the NHS bill in the morning and rally at the Adult Education College in Wellington Street at 2pm.

Spot the outsider theme, eh?
