That final comma is *absolutely* important!

I was married to a episcopal priest for 33 yrs, His previous marriage ended in divorce after 17 years, He reinvented himself as a voc rehab counselor with nys and had ties with the church as per diem for fill ins. This was unique. He loved it. My regrets are never severing his past full time priest life and fully embracing the current with 2 children of our own, Yes we had good times but I felt I was a fish out of water neither here or there. Harry died Feb 2014 we 3 are reinventing ourselves in the here and now but always look back- what if, how come, its hard. My advice. Know that special man in black frim the seminary. Immerse yourself in his life and know it would be quite unique.

Now the East of Scotland and the West of Scotland are different one from another. Amongst other things, religion is…

“Issues” is no more
Earlier today, the General Synod of the Church of England took a hugely significant step. It removed a document called “Issues in Human Sexuality” from the discernment process for people being assessed for clerical vocations in the Church of England. Oh, I can hear you yawning from here. But it really is important and this…

Fake Pope Quote Posts
One of the more bizarre developments in social media has been the rise in fake quotes from popes appearing online. One might think that Roman Catholics would be particularly at the forefront of this kind of activity, but that’s not necessarily the case. Anglicans seem to love a good fake pope quote. I’ve seen them…
