Does "the offer" refer to the "evensong service"?

Context: details of how humans had come to be. Could I walk away? I have always been suspicious of those who claim to perceive God's will in moments such as this, but the awesome signifi- cance of this adventure, and the potential consequences for hu- mankind's relationship with the Creator, could hardly be ignored. Visiting my daughter in North Carolina in November 1992, I spent a long afternoon praying in a little chapel, seeking guid- ance about this decision. I did not "hear" God speak!an fact, I have never had that experience. But during those hours, ending in an evensong service that I had not expected, a peace settled over me. A few days later, I accepted the offer.
