@WealandsBell I remember this differently, time does that to us! I remember him saying “How many of you here remember Nanny saying to you, you beastly child”. I looked around to see many of the CR brethren nodding their heads, and most of us thinking who had a Nanny?
@WealandsBell@KendallHarmon6 Sorry Wealands I was as under the opinion that the Church of England was a national church. If you are saying people of the nation can’t say when things are going seriously wrong with the national church then you are already screwed.
@MarkElliottSmi1 I think, dear Father, we have had a postcode lottery of sorts for years. Not all dioceses and not all episcopal conferences are created equal. Some are more equal than others!
@DrFrancisYoung@LMSChairman Do you attend many Catholic Masses? I thought you left all that behind when you joined the C of E. I have not encountered pottery Eucharistic vessels in the Catholic Church for ages, and then it was in school. Sadly they were ‘accidentally’ dropped twice down a set of stairs!
@MarkElliottSmi1@cathconclave Richard Giles who redesigned St Thomas’, Huddersfield, my first parish as Anglican Vicar, was a great one for pushing this. I don’t know if the idea was originally his, but he certainly ran with it when he was liturgical advisor in the Anglican diocese of Wakefield.
@MarkElliottSmi1@CptHastings1916 I pray fervently that you are right dear Father! Sadly, there seems to be some hesitation on how to move forward despite some, or even many wishing to do so. We must continue to pray fervently for a solution. I fear that the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak!
@prsb58@AngelaTilby@fathereddy@prsb Of course! But I was using terms in an ecumenical context! Referring to the teaching of the Church sometimes doesn’t wash ecumenically! It sometimes doesn’t wash when used in one’s own communion - let the reader understand!
