The foreign guests were invited to a reception in the Convention Centre in the middle of the Messegelaende ( exhibition grounds, but that is too small a word for this city in itself!). I met other Iona members, some URC folk including Sheila Brain, and one or two people I had met in Budapest a few weeks before, but they didn�t seem to want to do much other than say hello. I also met an Indian CSI priest who is working with North German Churches, whom I had met in Sete.
