Yes, to Edinburgh for the glories of High Mass at St Michael and All Saints. (Why they did not become All Saints and All Angels when those 2 churches merged, I will never know – St M and All Ss never trips off the tongue as well).
I tend to go back to that church for Corpus Christi each year as it is so wonderfully celebrated, however, inevitably, I found myself wondering whether something similar could happen next year in the West of Scotland.
There was a fair smattering of clergy enjoying the festivities, including Mothers Ruth and Marion and Fathers Gordon, Giles, and Jeremy. I won the Spot the Blogger competition by correctly identifying Mark. Seeing as Mark has recently told us that his confirmation date is fixed for 6 August (highly auspicious – the Feast of the Transfiguration) I think that it is about time I added him to the list of Episcopalians who blog on the right.
Corpus Christi in the West in 2007
Go for it
ditto – you almost had a contingent from B of A in the hope you were flinging petals about too!!
Thanks for the mention! 🙂
Yes; I did not realise the significance of the date until you told me! Mind you, I didn’t know the date itself until Fr Bill told me a week before that!
My knowledge of important days like that tends to get lost sometimes – I seem to have this semantic confusion between the Annunciation and Ascension, and the Transfiguration. Maybe because they all end on ‘ion’?
My comment has disappeared
I posted a comment here just after Stewart’s, but it seems to have disappeared/been removed. It wasn’t controversial or rude, so I’m curious as to why this might have happened?
disappearing comments
Sorry your comment disappeared anacapa999 – I use an automatic spam comment barring system. Just as with spam protection on e-mail, it very occasionally identifies a false postitive, which could have led me to delete the comment without checking its content. It is wearying how many comments there are advertising ring-tones, blue pills or happy women friends just for you. My apologies if I deleted something without checking it properly. All genuine posts most welcome. Do post again.

All I had said was that I will start to collect rose petals for next year!
Now, about those happy women friends just for me ……..
