I enjoyed our visit to Amsterdam. The ferry crossings were smooth, the food was good and the cabin was small! We spent Saturday in the city and mingled with the many Dutch football fans there to watch their national team play at the Amsterdam arena. We travelled around the city on the canal boats admiring the fine canal houses along the way. We visited Anne Frank’s house and saw where she and her family hid away from the Nazis before they were betrayed. We did a bit of shopping and a fair bit of walking too and managed to stay out of the way of all the cyclists. We chose our coffee stops very carefully and certainly gave the ‘Mellow Yellow’ café a miss!
On the way home on Sunday we worshipped at Beverley Minster.
Monday was taken up mostly with a meeting of the liaison group with West Park URC.
Today it has been back to the sabbatical programme and a meeting with one of my colleagues to discuss how his church operates in terms of membership and organisation. Then it was lunch with 2 Baptist colleagues and a lively discussion on the front page article of last week's Baptist Times which had the headline - "Apologise for slave trade on Racial Justice Sunday".
Its back to the books now.
