The Rev. has been telling us about a 45-day 'round trip' he can organize with the railway. It means that we can give him names of places we want to visit and he'll organize a tour incorporating them with rail connections between each. Because he is the pastor of the railway colony he can get us a big discount, making the price only about 2000Rs (£40). Accommodation will be another £90, but £130 for six weeks doesn't seem too extravagant. Of course it will be even less if we get sleeper cars and travel at night.
We went to the Gandhi Museum today, saw his house and all sorts of things about his life. Recently I saw Desmond Tutu quoted as saying, 'When people say religion has nothing to do with politics, I ask them if they know what religion is.' In the museum they had Gandhi saying much the same thing. I forgot to take my camera, but Nic took hers so hopefully I can get some of her prints. I've finished my first film so we can find out how good the local printers are.
Rev. Fenn was telling us at breakfast about his church and how he's changed it. Now loads of things are happening – Sunday School, Bible Studies etc, all run by his parishioners. They started a group to play in the services, but it didn't last and the band is now playing for a family choir instead. Maybe I should try to start an alternative worship group to try and entice the youth back to church at home? I doubt if it'd work anyway, I'm scared of them!
22:17 Just had a prayer meeting with the O.M. team. Their leader forced me to sing – she tried to persuade C. too but he was having none of it. The Rev. wants to record me singing some songs so he can teach them to his flock.
