A note for your 2008 diary. St Stephen's church on College road, next to sydenham hill station, had an amazing carol service on Monday 17th December. I imagine they do it every year. I am agnostic but don't have any problem with going into a church. Opera and choral music is so often based on religious themes but when hearing it on the radio I don't feel that I am being converted, just uplifted by the incredible sound of the voices.
