  • The Primus’s Radio Interview about the Columba Declaration

    It is incomprehensible to me that the Church of England establishment, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, can have claimed in the English Synod yesterday that the Scottish Episopal Church is “content” with the Columba Declaration and sees it as a positive move forward when the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church is describing it as “improper”, causing distress to the Scottish Episcopal Church, says it is not the way we do things in the Anglican Communion and talks of is as an example of the Church of England trying to exercise jurisdiction in Scotland.

    Here’s his radio interview today – well worth a listen.

    Can anyone explain what the Archbishop of Canterbury meant yesterday? I’m struggling to see the truth shining through his words – can anyone help me?

    I wouldn’t presume to claim that something hadn’t happened at St Mary’s — there are few places where the phrase ‘never say never’ has been more appropriate. If such a thing did happen, I’m sorry to have not seen it with my own eyes and impressed that anyone had the energy left.

    We expect nothing less from the Cathedral. A new by-law should make this clear that acrobatics take place each Sunday led by the Provost

    How athletic. Who can do this now I ask in their more mature years?

    I can simply report that some of the servers at St Mary’s are very athletic and are known to visit local gymnasia, the better to improve their skills for serving.
