So pleased to hear from you - and I really do think the Dunedin's Magnificat disc is absolutely the best I know for Xmas morning. Played it again today, with smatterings of Brahms and Tchaikovsky.<br /><br />Wanderer, we think of you and K and that adorable kelpie in your warmth and light (hoping you don't sizzle). You will approve of our dog exercising in Kensington Gardens this afternoon (Teddy, my latest love object - I want to take on a Budapest street poodle who looks very like him, but mansion block life wouldn't permit or be fair).<br /><br />Josie, the Muslims seem to have adopted the sensible side of Jesus - the good man rather than the 'scoundrel' P Pullman denounces for cooking up the miracle aspect. I'd long intended to put up a post with the wisdom Karen Armstrong draws from the Quran, but wanted to read it for myself to see whether for everything with which I agreed there was a counterstatement. Haven't found one yet but had better plough on. <br /><br />Peaceful hols to all. We're collapsed at home after a busy day socialising and a lot of walking (from West Ken to Westbourne Grove via Kensington Gardens and Paddington).Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-82287188111950402712016-12-25T21:55:46.671+00:002016-12-25T21:55:46.671+00:00

Apparently the Quran mentions Jesus more than two dozen times as a righteous prophet like Moses and Abraham. They don’t think of him as a god but rather as a great teacher and spiritual leader. Hope you’ll keep us posted on your Quaran progress.<br />Josie Holfordhttp://www.josieholford.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-57147900994965866672016-12-25T21:42:45.885+00:002016-12-25T21:42:45.885+00:00Christmas Greetings sent with our sincere wishes t...Christmas Greetings sent with our sincere wishes that an oasis of peace surrounds yourselves in this world chaos. (As you've been saying for yonks, Putin is playing a long and nasty game.) While our paths didn't cross in the year receding, maybe the coming one will be more accomodating.wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196036534397389760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-83954045680509087992016-12-25T15:44:48.523+00:002016-12-25T15:44:48.523+00:00Salaam, David!

A peaceful new year for you and yours, and for us all - what a wonderful thing! -- ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
