Take a look at what Beth has written about All Souls Day over on her blog. She’s a young medic who works in the local cancer hospital by day and by night and who works at the altar of the Lord as a server by night and by day.

Thank you for introducing the word “stoor” to those of us in the non-Scottish world.

Have you been glowing again?
Honestly, I think that it really says something great when they know, even if in a setting where they might not know!

I agree! As daughter of a C of S one, I’ve spent time in the company of more than my fair share. Some have ‘the aura’ and some, most definitely do not…..

@PamB – we didn’t, but we are delighted.
@Rosemary – thanks but no thanks. Being calm at someone else’s workmen is surely too much for anyone.
@Ruth – the day I was ordained, the wife of a bishop told me my aura was golden. She saw them regularly.

I agree with…

Quicklinks
Quicklinks Damian Thomson has – Its all over for the Archbishop. This contains the memorable accusation that in forcing Jeffrey John to resign, Archbishop Rowan became the man who laid down his friend for his life. All the more vulgar for being true. Gaping Void has an excellent piece about blogging which contains this: “Having…

Music Planning
Well, it would be nice to do it again, on Easter Day. Yes, it would. The only problem is, the congregation always want to join in. Mmm. They start humming along at first and then they start singing. It would be fun on Easter Day though. Yes, it would. As the Gradual? Oh yes, definately,…
