I'm looking forward to yo...@A Reluctant Sinner<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your inaugural Guild meeting on October 1st 20011, at Father Finigan's Church, Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen, this was posted by vesper to The hermeneutic of continuity at 8/14/2011 12:41 PM<br /><br />vesper has left a new comment on the post "A sermon on Church architecture" http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2011/08/sermon-on-church-architecture.html : <br /><br />@Father Finigan<br /><br />Thank you for this timely sermon on Church architecture.<br /><br />I grew up in Deptford Church Street overlooking St Paul's C of E, a baroque masterpiece which Sir John Betjamin described as the 'Pearl in the Heart of Deptford'. <br /><br />It was working with the late Guardian of Walsingham Canon David Diamond that led to me becoming a Roman Catholic. Father Diamond is buried in the St Paul's Churchyard which makes it a real church for me at least, as I stop and pray there when I visit.<br /><br />London's Anglo Catholics will clearly recall that Canon Diamond invited HRH The Prince of Wales to open the First Premise, St Paul's Court in the 1987/88 football season. <br /><br />Addey & Stanhope School's Steve Pratt can confirm that Canon Diamond also used my poetry to invite HRH the Prince of Wales to the opening of St Paul 's Court:<br /> <br />SE8 MATE <br /><br />DIRTY SMELLY DEPTFORD. <br />HOW WE LOVE YOU SO. <br />THE POWER THAT ONCE CAME FROM YOU. <br />HAS LONG CEASED TO FLOW. <br />ARCHER'S DREAM NO LONGER DWARFED. <br />16 ACRES FREE. <br />A FUTURE KING FINDS HIS LAND. <br />AND PLACE IN HISTORY.<br /><br />Canon Diamond and I are both recorded as being professional Thames Gateway contributors to the Civic Trust report which preceded Deptford City Challenge.<br /><br />I was invited to St James Palace by Stephen Couling, and Dr Brian Hanson of The Prince of Wales’ Institute of Architecture, and I was shortlisted for their course at Oxford, Rome and Villa Lante, which unfortunately never happened because I was arrested following a dispute at the Old Addeyans FC/ Densitron International PLC development. Regina v Hobson 1991 and two not guilty verdicts followed before Judge Smith at the ILCC.<br /><br />My individual case for the defence against NF/BNP entry-ism into London's Sporting/Planning arena as evidenced by my FOOTBALL AGAINST RACISM IN EUROPE (FARE) 1991-2011 case focus is with our ConDem Nation Home Secretary after John Austin, the former leader of Greenwich Council, and my former MP for Erith & Thamesmead wrote to her about the case. David Evennett my new Bexleyheath & Crayford MP also wrote to the Home Secretary to express his concerns about the case too. The resulting delayed response from the Police Minister Nick Herbert has subsequently caused extreme mental distress, loss of the right of Judicial Review, and finger pointing from both sides of the House of Commons with each side blaming the other for the loss of my human and civil rights 1991-2011.<br /><br />Here is a facebook link to a critical City Challenge regeneration project in Bexley where you are the RC Dean http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=217259544988504&id=540164568#!/pages/Larner-Road-Regeneration/134486906624144 <br /><br />The Larner Road Estate is the very poor neighbour to Bexley Athletic Club's Erith Stadium with it's exciting Olympic 2012 focus. I would ask you Father, to keep this bottom to top project in focus, and in your prayers too.<br /><br />Our Lady of the Rosary ( http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2011/05/visit-to-tomb-of-blessed-john-paul-ii.html ) pray for us! <br /><br />PAPA VERO ORA PRO NOBIS!vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218369501123975523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011391723338869451.post-14316849456303669002011-09-24T16:10:12.145+01:002011-09-24T16:10:12.145+01:00@A Reluctant Sinner
