Can I suggest that you all head over to Dieter Philippi’s webpage today to have a look at his post on the difference between the Spanish Pompom and the Italian Pompom.
(Yes, we are talking birettas here and Herr Philippi is the expert).

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.

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

Many of the local campaigners went down to the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday to lobby their MSPs. Together we managed to get all the…
I'm back from sunny Argyll. It was far hotter and sunnier than I would have expected.More immediately, I've just come in from standing in a very cold field for an hour watching the Northern Lights gently illuminate the night sky. There were meteors to watch too – shooting across both Orion and the Pleiades. A…
