• It isn’t just Scotland, you know

    It isn’t just Scotland where there are people getting excited about the possibility of marriage law being changed to be more equitable you know.

    Here’s a video of the Dean of St Alban’s speaking out for the cause down in Englandshire.

    Rather well, he does it too, I think.

    Now, when did you last hear anyone else be as articulate, sensible and godly in less than three minutes?

    Hi,

    I happened by because I was googling o­n the word “thurible”.  I'm a US Episcopalian, and I'm currently in the Inquiry process about becoming a vocational Deacon… which, as you know, is supposedly a lay ministry. 

    But I know what you mean… we do a commissioning sort of a thing every year for our vestry and teachers, but it's all ad hoc and out of various slightly suspect books of supplemental rites.  It would be niceto have an approved liturgy for blessing a Lay Eucharistic Minister, for example.

    If you don't mind, I'll be about again… feel free to look at my blog, http://www.livejournal.com/users/lirazel/.

    I'm 50, with a lot of younger friends due to interests in Japanese animation and science fiction and such… so please pardon us of some of the language is even more opaque than is commonly the case when people from the British Isles and Amurrrricans try to understand each other.

    Regards (how appropriate for viewing someone's blog!)
    Lirazel

  • Angels in America

    I don't usually blog about what I've seen o­n the television but this weekend's marathon from Channel 4 is worthy of comment. I remember missing the stage play of Angels in America both in London and Stockholm. What an extraordinary piece. What an extraordinary length – over 2 hours of epic trauma. It was like…

  • Sermon – 8 February 2004

    The call of Isaiah was the first reading that we had this morning and it is the one that I am going to concentrate on this morning. Let me give you warning too, part of the ministry of the word this morning will be silence. At the end of the sermon, I will be inviting…
