    ‘breaking open the same word of God and finding it feeds us all according to our earthly needs and god given personalities’.

    Ought to be emblazoned over the door of every church.

    Azrael – is that not the named fourth great archangel?

      Oh, I knew someone was going to get picky about other Archangels.

      I deliberately said something about them being named in the bible. Raphael sneaks in because of Tobit.

      I think if you want to bicker you’ve a better case with Uriel than Azrael.

      Azrael is better know in Islam and Sikhism (oddly) than in Christianity. Uriel meanwhile gets a singsong in the Creation. However, Raphael, Gabriel and Michael have got a bit more of a secure biblical foundation.

  • Parking Defender

    I do weary of having to defend the parking spaces outside the church from schemes to “improve” the road junction. Having just managed to save enough space for hearses and wedding cars a couple of months ago, there is now a plan to put a bus stop next to the west wall of the church,…
