… the ordinary is not banal at all. It is messy, dense, artful. What is hidden behind habitual activities is a cacophony of textured, sensual experience – the lifeblood of human culture itself. The everyday has its own aesthetic integrity. And the more we study it, as social scientists say, the stranger and more interesting the ordinary becomes.

— Nadine Levy, “What if your life turned out to be ordinary? Slow down and relish this – it might even be enchanting”, The Guardian (April 19, 2026)

We currently conduct a full worship service on the first Sunday of each month, and discuss a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.

On Sunday, 10 May, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, followed by our discussion. Robert Helfer will lead the service and discussion. This week’s reading is “What if your life turned out to be ordinary? Slow down and relish this – it might even be enchanting”, by Nadine Levy, The Guardian (April 19, 2026)
