• A Hymn for the Feast of the Transfiguration


    Hey! Let me know you
    You’re all that matters to me
    Hey! Let me show you
    You’re all that matters to me
    Hey! Let me love you
    You’re all that matters to me (Oh come on)
    Hey! So come on yeah
    See the light on your face
    Let it shine, just let it shine
    Shine all your light over me
    Shine!

    No, Kimberley – he ISN’T a Primate. He is merely first among equals and has no powers as a primate or metropolitan.

    So what would you use as the collective noun for Archbishops, Presiding Bishops, Primi (Primuses??), etc?

    I have always heard ‘primates’ as a simple short hand and have not assumed that it tells us anything about the form of governance in any particular province.

    Ah! But it does! +Idris is Primus (inter pares), but he’s no more a Primate than you or I. This is a delightful distinguishing feature of our Scottish Church. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries there were various suggestions and attempts to restore some kind of Metropolitan Bishop, but they came to nothing.

    As for a collective noun, I don’t know. I prefer not to think about such meetings!

It was black and white, and for a moment, I thought that perhaps Miss Matilda had followed me down Great Western Road. Cats are religious, but not generally Christian, in my view. Unlike dogs.Meanwhile,…

  • Credo

    Gadgetvicar has an interesting post today in which he discusses the difference between what he calls "two different faiths."I’ve tried to post a comment to his post as I’m interested in what he is saying, but his blog must have a heresy filter set or something at the moment. I received the message: "Comments are…
