• The Hegemony Asserts Itself

    Every day, the straight heterosexist hegemony manages to find new ways to assert its dominance over all who do not share its presumptions.

    Today, hangers on the back of an hotel room door.

    Every day something different.

    Fr Kelvin, is there a link to a pdf of the order of service so we can all see it?

    I’ll try to post a pdf later today. I need to pick it up from the office and then bring it home to change it to pdf format. I also need to correct a couple of mistakes before I forget what they were.

    I can’t post everything that was in the people’s hands for copyright reasons, but I’ll see what I can include.

    In the service sheet, verse 3 of In the Bleak Midwinter has the wrong words.

    The words as used by Harold Darke, and as sung as a tenor solo last night, from memory are:

    Enough for Him whom Cherubim worship night and day,
    A breast full of milk, and a manger full of hay,
    Enough for Him, whom angels fall down before,
    the ox and ass and camel which adore

    OK, I shall remove my anorak now!
