The windows on the world are still open. I like it. It has the same keys. Very successful, but increasingly difficult to maintain the coffee room service. We need some younger staff.
Life is much harder, there are more questions - and more work.
Every time I enter or leave the Centre now, I find myself drawn to the copper coloured four cross keys on the entrance floor, and to the wall plaque which commemorates the evening when Bishop Patrick came and opened the building officially, the evening when his voice wafted intermittently across the ether into the church, where most of us witnessed the event. Eucharist in the Seminar Room, where we look out over the city as mainly young people of Nottingham begin their daily work. That view is an ever changing one of the city life in which St Peter s joins, and though in the room we are only two or three, we are all the city too. Alternate Wednesdays has been the Pathways to Prayer gathering too, a stubborn survivor from the Lent Group, and another small group, again watching the city life and the changing seasons, seeking God in art therapy, readings, video extracts, poetry and silence.
