Annual General Meeting are notoriously dull but the Latin Mass Society's are a bit different, and this year's was rather fun. It took place on the feast of SS Peter & Paul on 29th June; things have been so hectic since then I have only now got round to processing my photos.
We are especially grateful to the Fathers of the Birmingham Oratory for hosting us and for the beautiful Mass which preceded the meeting proper.
Since we were at the Oratory we had a Newman theme. Participants were able to venerate his shrine, and our guest speaker was a Newman scholar, Prof Jacob Philipps, Interim Dean, Faculty of Education, Theology, and the Arts, StMary’s University, Twickenham, who spoke on ‘St John Henry Newman and Benedict XVI’, which you can see on YouTube here.
I also made reference to Newman in my talk, which was called ‘Newman and church & state’.
I always enjoy meeting LMS members and being able to talk to them frankly about issues that affect us all. Do consider coming to the next one, if you are a member: face-to-face interaction is more important than ever in the modern world.
