The questions. What to wear, Will I fit in?

This year Greenbelt clashed with Momentum. There was some (mostly) friendly rivalry on Twitter between folks who had chosen one event over the other. My response was straightforward - Only at Greenbelt would I get Mass every day & be invited to speak on Being Anglo-Catholic Charismatic. The way the programme worked this year I didn't quite make that the first part, but it was a fantastic festival.


Greenbelt changes year by year, yet this years festival was very much influenced by last years. Not only in the normal sense that successful worship groups tend to carry over from year to the next, but in the size of the event and layout of the site. Due to the heavy rain last year the area normally reserved for Big Top, Jesus Arms and lots more was out of action - the ground still had not fully recovered. The more compressed site plan however had a number of advantages - shorter journey times between talks and events, and most importantly the ability to sit in the Jesus Arms with a pint and listen to Main Stage or Big Top acts, depending on which was louder.
