Downside AbbeyPossibilities - for 1992; Alright so far - after 15 years, a rolling car story; The Scene across the Country - alarming decrease in Catholic numbers; The Decade - wide range of activities and areas, unable to define the work of a Commission for Evangelisation ; The Practice - a liturgy to celebrate, revealed mysteries of faith, "all for concilitarity and firmly adhere to it - but I am leary of any synodal structure"; Programme of Evangelisation - "junk" served up in so many churches, a list of some hymns to be consigned to the outer darkness, "admit there is a danger of riding a hobby horse to death"; ARCIC Response - "a great opportunity was lost...", incolvement of all Chruistian Churches is demanded; Finance - Hadrian Mule, Diocesan finances never easy to grasp at one sitting, have not enough money to do everything so budgetting and prioritising is fundamental; DDF [Diocesan Development Fund] - decisions to be taken; Offerings - frequently too low, successes in the Shrine complex and finanacing of the rebuilding of the Cathedral
