and very honoured to sponsor @JamesRice21 for his baptism and confirmation. Great day all round!

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

Baptism and confirmations on Whitsunday 2024 at St Lawrence.

Amazing solemn Te Deum at the end by the choir, too. It's great to see everything come together after so much hard work by different people.

hearing my voice on video makes me never want to talk out loud again

@davidjn_ no, don't worry - we rushed off to the Walnut Tree as soon as possible...

fun excerpt in an article about a food historian...

'dinner between James II & Pope Innocent XI had a 6-foot sugar centrepiece depicting the triumph of Catholicism over Protestantism.

James wanted Rome’s support against the Dutch. The Pope, believing there were more important things than war against Christians, did not show up.'

@PeterJa00351176 I have often thought this - on this topic and the 'reclamation' of the 'stolen' Cathedrals in England often share language with those who argue for reparations. I think it is just laziness tbh - they know first hand it is often a successful way of arguing.

Wouldn’t it be remarkable if, little by little, the Holy Spirit was answering the prayer expressed in the Golden Sequence of Pentecost: “Bend the stubborn heart and will; / Melt the frozen, warm the chill; / Guide the steps that go astray”?

Forgive me, but it’s unbecoming for Christians to insist that churches they don’t belong to must never change and must remain the worst version of themselves – presumably in order to bolster their own positions

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@MichaelPTKelly that would be good. Unfortunately the responses and quote tweets to this post do not indicate this.

"It's a place about Christ, about God coming close to us."

Every May, the National Pilgrimage to The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham is held. @FideliumLondon, a network of young anglo-catholic Christians in London explain why it is such a significant place.

@FreeIrishman7 The Church in England is a part of the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, as in the creed recited this morning, as it always was

The post-Reformation Church was different to before. I do not believe communion is impaired, just as the RC Church wasnt after the Council of Trent

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

Despite all the clashing in the comments, remember its just troublemakers online. Ecumenism is in a good place.

The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Southwark preached at this event, RCs borrow Canterbury Cathedral once a year, there are joint Palm Sunday processions...

@FreeIrishman7 just not my forefathers from 1556 - 2026? And for what it is worth, I consider myself to carry on with the faith my forefathers before 1556 had, we were and are members of the Catholic Church in England. I do not consider my communion with them to be impaired.

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@nwnatur I use it to clarify I'm not talking about the Catholic Church in England else things will get confusing.

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@FreeIrishman7 By continuing to be a member of the CofE, not receiving the sacrament of female priests, & using the Book of Common Prayer, I am in line with my ancestors.

Further, I may attend a church that is ad orientem & receives communion on the tongue. Not the case in various RC churches!

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@FreeIrishman7 if your Pope & your cardinals are so falliable as to be demonic, why is your church any better than my church?

My ancestors were also Anglican. Henry VIII died as a Roman Catholic out of communion with the pope. I'm uninterested in any claims he "started" the Anglican church 1/2

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@FreeIrishman7 are the popes and your cardinals demonic for engaging in ecumenism? or did they just accidentally get involved in that sort of thing?

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@WalkerMarcus ... and the best preface in the BCP!

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@bluegloyper do you think your cardinals have not considered the best way to be with their dispersed brethren? I imagine they consider ecumenical partnerships and constructive dialogue to be more effective than sniping on twitter.

"The next time I call them heretics they will surely join!"

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@bluegloyper Your Pope and cardinals are happy to spend time with their anglican brethren. Why not you? Do you know better than them?

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

@HughTauerner I'm glad you found a denomination that works for you :)

[Evan @EvanAG1999]

my hot take is Roman Catholics who says things like "i prefer anglicans who like the BCP and choir dress and the litany and cranmer" are just upset anglo-catholics do catholicism better than them
