The Christian Century

I came to St. Martin-in-the-Fields last July. It’s a complex organization; to get to know it I’ve spent time as a concert usher, a sous-chef, a bookstall volunteer and an aide in the day center for homeless and vulnerable people. I spent a half hour each with 50 staff, church members and neighbors, and I even turned out for the cricket team. This is England, after all. So it made sense to spend a night outside.
