• The rules

    Here’s how we are going to get along.

    1. Black shoes in the sanctuary
    2. Play nicely
    3. Don’t copy the provost/pope/prime minister into emails that are addressed to anyone else
    4. No boring worship
    5. Obey the moratorium on unnecessary exclamation marks!
    6. No communion for dogs, not even on St Francis’s Day
    7. Communion for all humans any day
    8. Black ink. Only black ink.
    9. No rotas on noticeboards
    10. Clerical honorifics take the definite article

    Wow! What a succinct and powerful statement of faith — in so few words. In this early very gray and cold morning the Saturday after Easter in Cleveland, Ohio, I sit quietly to absorb this before husband and child awake. My heart and spirit felt a start when I read and re-read these words. Thank you.

    Upon stepping out into the street this morning at about 8 am, I saw out of the corner of my eye a person walking up Great Western Road, towards St Mary’s wearing not a stitch of clothing. She walked with quite a determined gait and then disappeared into a sidestreet. She did not come to…
