Still not insightful or rantful (or, more strictly,
publishably rantful), but here at least is what it looked like arriving at St
Nicolas’ for Matins yesterday.
Shortly after the service we heard Leither Taylor had died
during the night in St Andrew’s Hospice - expected news which brought that strange
combination of deep sorrow and relief, regret and thanksgiving. A member of St Michael’s congregation for
over forty years, she was a woman of determination and of multiple kindnesses.
I mentioned last week a decade of twelve newly confirmed adult
members of St Michael's, eight of whom had been present there the previous
Sunday. I now set alongside that the
knowledge of Leither among at least a dozen any eight of whom we might have
expected to see there on any particular Sunday ten years ago. We give thanks on every remembrance of them.
