Choral evensong even worse.
1. The post-evensong half in the pub was accompanied by some amazing tunes.
2. Autumnal colours crossing the common.
3. Being reminded in tonight's Harvest sermon that thankfulness is a spiritual discipline.
Yes, I'm going to try #ThreeGoodThings again.

Chris Brain, Choral Evensong, Tammy Sandhu
On Friday Chris Brain, former leader of a Church group aimed at young people, was found guilty of one count of rape and four charges of sexual assault. It follows a separate trial last year. The verdicts mean Brain has now been convicted of a total of 22 sexual offences against 13 women. Julie Etchingham speaks to Andrew Graystone, theologian and advocate for survivors of abuse in the churchThis week marks one hundred years of BBC Choral Evensong, one of the longest-running music broadcasts anywhere in the world. Since 1926, generations of listeners have discovered cathedral and collegiate choirs through the programme, whether from great churches and cathedrals across Britain or from further afield. Leading next week's special centenary broadcast from Westminster Abbey is the Abbey's organist and master of the choristers, Andrew Nethsingha. He tells Julie Etchingham what it means to him personally to be leading this historic broadcast.Tammy Sandhu, after 20 years in the diplomatic service, has just become the UK's ambassador to the Holy See. Born in Leicester, ambassador Sandhu is the first woman from an ethnic minority background to hold the prestigious role. Tammy tells us what she has made of Vatican City so far. The Catholic and Anglican Archbishops of Armagh, the Primates of all Ireland have been speaking to Sunday about two of the biggest challenges of their time: AI and the continuing standoff in Drumcree. Presenter: Julie Etchingham Producers: Bara'atu Ibrahim & Katy Booth Studio Managers: Jonathan Esp & Ben Houghton Editor: Catherine Murray

My dad's first parish had a couple: if no one who'd be offended (i.e. English) was at Morning Prayer or Evensong they'd let their hair down and have a proper knees up.

Here’s the beginning of the quarter of St Clements at Wymondham Abbey - at one point I could hear the bells, the choristers practising before evensong, and the whistle of a steam train - all of the sounds and all of the feels!

Although I’d sung in choirs, & my Mum was a gifted soprano, my awareness of classical music was very limited. Keeping my old man on side when I worked at the kitchen table & he did the dishes, I messed around on FM till 1 day I stumbled across Choral Evensong.
