Too much choice here. Pork Pie with Black Pudding, with Stilton or with Apple?

In the interests of full disclosure I have said Mass publicly as a priest of the Church of England in Churches and at Altars under the direct control of the Bishop of Rome, both within the Vatican and in the City of Rome, each time being given the Tabernacle key.

Time to move on. Next up is #Apocryphagate If I post this today, it should arrive at the Abbey in time.

No Alert received, and as yet no Rapture or Nuclear annihilation. Only one possible response: time for Evensong.

For Baptism and Confirmation.

You’ll have to wait until Easter Monday 2024 now, but we have all your Initiation needs covered in the Happy Valley with the Hebden Bridge Duck Race.

On this ANZAC Day, remembering our family friend Mr Comerford, (never known by his Christian name), Miner, Methodist, and as a teenage Naval Rating, responsible for rowing ashore some of the landing parties at Gallipoli. He never forgot, nor should we. #AnzacDay #LestWeForget

In any discussion of challenging deference in the Church, ought we to consider the use of the title ‘Dr’ alongside Bishop, Father and the like?

Sure, you can use another Psalter at Evensong tonight if you wish to, but if it isn’t the Prayer Book then you won’t get to use the word ‘minished.’

My favourite part of #LocalElections Day is receiving a little map to tell me where one of my Churches is.

Skipton Railway Station is quite magnificent.

I am not quite sure what conclusion to draw from this, but it has been pointed out to me that I was already serving in these Parishes before either of the two bishops-designate in this Diocese were even ordained.

Current favourite Coronation story: Bishop Michael Ramsey having to be retrieved by the Police from a Cambridge Bookshop because he had forgotten that he was supposed to be in the Abbey for a rehearsal with the Queen present.

Has prayed for the Queen Consort for the final time.

Given the responses to my Michael Ramsey tweet, I wonder if we might ‘save’ the Anglican Communion by remembering that all we have in common is a fund of stories about Michael Ramsey?
