If anyone is looking for a #spiritual #BookClub there’s a group forming over on #reditt to read #JulianofNorwich [Warning: I’m planning on reading so you’ll be seeing some of my thoughts & reflections posted here]

Julian of Norwich was an English anchoress in the Middle Ages. Her Revelations of Divine Love, based on 16 divine visions she received in 1373, is thought to be the first book written by a #woman in English that has survived (and is still actively being read and studied today). She is venerated as a saint in the #EpiscopalChurch & the larger #AnglicanCommunion (although she is not recognized as a saint by the #RomanCatholicChurch )

The translation I plan to read is: Love’s Trinity: A Companion to Julian of Norwich translated by John-Julian with commentary by Frederick S. Roden https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780814653081

I had thought that this had been effective at the time it was announced: “Today (November 20), Lambeth Palace have issued a statement that following his resignation announcement, the Archbishop of Canterbury intends to complete his official duties by the upcoming Feast of Epiphany (6th January).”

Harriet Sherwood reports that archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is said to have stated at a private meeting with about a dozen MPs at Westminster on Monday that he's prefer to see the Church of England disestablished than the Anglican communion fractured when member churches opposed to respecting the rights of LGBTQ people left the communion if the C of E blesses same-sex marriages in church.

As the Most Reverends have not left Elon's Nest I have made automatic mirrors of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Presiding Bishop's Twitter accounts. #Episcopal #Anglican #EpiscopalChurch #AnglicanCommunion #archbishops
