My dear Friends
Yesterday i watched the Royal Wedding on TV with Benigna, her daughter Fadijah and Benigna's carer Effie. I was deeply moved by it from start to finish, but especially by the service in Westminster Abbey. It was the Church of England at its very best. Rowan Williams was in attendance and solemnly explained the meaning of marriage to the young couple.
Kate looked resplendent in her gorgeous wedding gown and seemd relaxed throughout the whole ceremony.There was a moment of tension when it seemed that the ring might not fit!
The couple had chosen a marvellous reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans; the last verse says 'Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.' And they had composed a prayer about helping people in distress.
They are obviously people with a firm belief and a firm sense of committment. We all relished the moment on the balcony when they kissed, not once but twice!
The Queen looked rightly happy and has bestowed on William and Catherine the titles of 'Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.' I look forward to the day when they visit us here.
Shalom from
Sister Gila

The Queen visited Cambridge a while ago, unannounced, and saw the Mayor and other dignitaries!!
It was a wonderful day for the Church, maybe more young couples will follow suit now!!!!
Duchess Catherine's brother made an excellent reader of an excellent passage. B
