In September 1953 she set off fresh from college to teach in the USA. Her mother Margot wrote to her every week for two and a half years.

As seen at last year's Edinburgh Festival. http://www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/ ECUMENICAL THOMAS MASS AT SOUTHWARK CATHEDRAL Sunday 30 January 6.30pm at Southwark Cathedral, London Bridge Map: http://quicklink.se1direct.co.uk/?id=874 The Thomas Mass is a form of the Eucharist which seeks to reach out to those who doubt, those who have no belief but want to know more and those who believe but are still on their journey of faith. Whilst following the usual order, the service is intended to allow more time for contemplation, reflection and prayer and depends for its success on the participation of the congregation. This is an ecumenical event with the congregations of the Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish Churches in London and of St George's Roman Catholic Cathedral Southwark. Celebrant: Fr Helge Pettersson. Preacher: Fr Phillip Nelson, chaplain to Digby Stuart College. http://www.southwark.anglican.org/cathedral/ ======================================================= Running an event? http://SE1direct.co.uk/inclusion.php ======================================================= [ Advert: South Bank Alexander Centre ] Ready for change?
