    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.
