• 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.

    Have you invited the Primus to come along with his Brompton?

    Personally, I doubt that bicycles are a helpful liturgical tool. The last time I was on one, it was in tandem with my training rector. We fell. We bled. Weeks passed before we could kneel at the daily office.

    (though perhaps if bikes still came with sparkly ribbon streamers as they did when I was 8, I could be persuaded)

      It sounds to me as though it would have been quite a good idea to have looked for a blessing before taking to the tandem.

      +Primus has been invited by facebook.

      Natch.

    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.
