We had this conversation in a lecture this morning. About how Gordon Brown led lament in the House of Commons yesterday. I was very impressed with the whole thing. So maybe an observation from how you can do lament in church. Normal proceedings stopped. The leader led: and led out of his own experience. He was empathetic in an understated way. Others had the chance to respond and bear witness/ give testimony. It was related to the wider world. Nothing more profound than that.. just some thoughts
This is where some of what I think gets a public audience.
