  • 10 Things to Remember about Corpus Christi

    corpuschristi - new

    1. It is on Thursday 19 June 2014 this year.
    2. It is always on a Thursday.
    3. It is one of the most extravagent and lovely religious festivals that human beings have devised.
    4. Thomas Aquinas is said to have invented it to bring the focus back to Jesus Christ in churches which were rather keen on his mother.
    5. It is about gazing in wonder – and we don’t do that nearly enough.
    6. Our Lord himself comes and wanders amongst his people – just like in real life!
    7. Abraham (as Bishop Kevin was always wont to say) would have understood this feast
    8. We scatter flower petals hither and yon to make a suitable pathway for God to come amongst us
    9. It smells. Lovely.
    10. The service takes place at 7.30 pm in St Mary’s on Thursday evening – please bring flower petals to the sacristy by 7 pm if you can

    I think you mean Alan Cumming – though I’ve never see the Good Wife.

    Alan is certainly Scottish and can be seen along with someone else you know on the front cover of this publication.

      The Good Wife is one of my favorite US TV shows. He plays the part with no detectable accent whatever, unlike his fellow Brit, Archie Panjabi, who speaks with a very proper accent, but from who know where. This past week Alan’s character kissed a girl and they liked it!

          So he’s always had bad hair! The Ginger’s cute. Are those natural accents or tuned up a bit?

            Tuned up a bit though you do hear people speak like that.
