.1830

[continued]

My meeting with the Archbishop,* that wonderful, practical and saintly man (who casually dropped a ‘bugger[!]’ into the conversation,** presumably to put me at my ease, if not to test me), started with my suggesting that I could serve as well in the capacity of involved layman, or perhaps lay reader (after my feelings of conflict with the clergy and the selection procedures); and, predictably I suppose, ended with my feeling that I should continue with the selection procedures.*** But I suppose that these dreams are apposite.****

***which is what he expressly suggested that I should do. <900715>

He also agreed happily to my writing to ask about vocations. <901221>
