Not
far from the Minster where I am based, a temporary fairground has been set up,
all overwhelming noise and flashing neon colours. Sitting in the chapel this
morning, stilling myself in preparation to meet the widow and elder son of the
congregation member whose funeral will take place on Friday, I am dazzled by
the radiance of the low December sun. It is surer of itself and more stunning
than the distractions of the fair. And in this space, all laden air and roaring
silence, I become aware of the great cloud of witnesses who have gone ahead of
us—more dazzling still.
