LentenWaxThe person reading Acts this morning pronounced Ananias as "Anus-sy".
(I'm no expert on 1st century Palestinian names but I have always pronounced it "Anna-NI-as")
And honestly it made my morning.
It's not a burning (ha!) issue. But if you are going to argue at length with the vicar over your desire to have a three-colour advent wreath.
Have the decency to light the right candle on the 3rd Sunday of Advent.
I see the Nigerian Anglican Church has rejected the appointment of the Archbishop of Canterbury. This is predictable from a particularly difficult part of the Anglican Communion.
The Communion in it's current form makes little sense in the 21st Century and this proves why.
We really do have to do something about this horrendously troubling legacy of Empire.
I'm slightly in fear of tomorrow's announcement of the new Archbishop of Canterbury.
Not just because this is a difficult and tricky time for both the CofE and the Anglican Communion.
But because there is a very good chance my own superb bishop is high up the short-list. While she would be very very good appointment to Lambeth, she would be desperately missed here in the diocese. #FediChurch #Archbishop #Anglicam #ChurchOfEngland
Wonderfully comic moment during the mornings gospel reading where the lovely lady reading had quite the accent. And what it sounded like was:
"And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sauce"
..."even the dogs would come and lick his sauce"
Had to cover my giggles with a cough. #FediChurch
Niche Toot:
Having had to pullout of this week's clergy conference I realise that it is now at least six years since I've been to The Hayes.
Can I even call myself a Christian anymore?

Any church folk had experience with chums.org?
I have a parish who wants to use it, but I have my reservations. It claims to be FOSS but is US based and I can't find a privacy policy.
Not sure how secure data would be on it, suspect it wouldn't be GDR compliant....
I had cause to be at Cathedral evensong. I am reminded that I dislike evensong intensely, cathedral evensong doubly so.
