But, but… this Sunday is in no way ordinary time! It is still in Easter!

You are right, Tom. It is just an ordinary special Sunday…

Wall to wall gorgeousness from the choir – music to my ears! (Perhaps a video one day)?

I guess the Ascension was celebrated on Ascension Day? Very right and proper; but for those places that can’t achieve a Thursday evening crowd, yesterday would have been a high festival too!

I’ve never been in a church that didn’t keep Ascension on Ascension Day and I’m wondering why there are churches that don’t.
Is it that the people stopped coming because it wasn’t done well or because they are too lazy to turn out or is there some other reason?
There is a curious habit in this diocese of having joint regional services on Ascension Day in some of our regions. This has never made me think any better of our regional system.

Doris Day Day
You will be delighted to hear, gentle reader, that at lunchtime today, the Cathedral Office came to a glorious standstill for a chorus of Que Sera, Sera. This event was of course, to mark Doris Day’s birthday, a feast which is unmoveable, even in Lent. Sing along now. Kudos to Fr Kirstin for alerting us.

You know Elton John? Yes What’s the point? What?!? Well, what is the attraction? It can’t be his music can it? Part of your soul is missing. [The question is, who was speaking to whom?]

Here or there?
Here or there, that is the liturgical question. High altar or altar amongst us? Do you dress the altar you are using, or the altar you used to use? Do you light candles up there or down here? These are not trivial questions and decisions have to be made. Nothing more precisely states the problem…
