• Holy Week starts with joy

    Many thanks to all those who made Palm Sunday so special at St Mary’s. (I’ve been ill for a fortnight, so it wasn’t down to me!)

    Thanks to Stewart Macfarlane for capturing this pic. A reminder that Holy Week starts with joy.

    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.

    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.

    It seems that our cousins in the Church of England have voted in favour of bringing in legislation which will result in bishops being consecrated who happen to be female.
