Church of Lego

Our Lady of Lego is an ordinary parish church, a home for saints and sinners. Pull up a pew. Get to know them. They'll be glad to see you at Mass.

@lana862 @ww_gail @TalbertSwan Mother Ava says, “of course the Church of Lego exists. Here at Our Lady of Lego, we have just as many problems as the rest of the church, and the added problem of not having any fingers or feet... Since you asked, would you be happy to volunteer at the summer fete?”

"Oh, great. And, now, on top of everything else, I have to fix the bloody thurible" the priest said to nobody in particular, but she felt uneasy, and her head ached.

Roger, in a most uncharacteristic and unsacristan-like manner abandoned the ironing and deliberately knocked the thurible off the table. The chains that held it together parted, and it clattered noisily to the floor. He walked away without a word.

"No" said Mth Ava, crossing her arms, and giving one of her 'end of conversation' looks. "I've said what I think before and I won't have Our Lady force people into taking 'sides'. We're not getting into it again, and that's final..."

"The elephant in the room" explained Mth Ava "is a lack of Christians in church. That's sod all to do with sex, and everything to do with the distinctiveness of our witness"

"But, it's all tied in" fumed Roger, peering through a now unusable purificator.

"I very much doubt people are not being baptised or confirmed cos of the Church's official stance on anything related to sex or marriage..." argued Mother Ava.

"But if we were more inclusive" objected Roger, abandoning the ironing and waving a brochure.

"It's unnecessary to draw attention to what the hierarchy prefers to overlook. Better to keep heads down and focus on mission" replied Mth Ava.

"But this is linked to mission. Maybe people would come to church if..." attempted Roger, ironing vigorously.

"It won't make a very interesting letter. What am I meant to say?" asked Mth Ava, searching for missing purificators.

"That some of the faithful at Our Lady aren't straight and that the blueprint doesn't reflect the character of our life" suggested Roger.

"Maybe you should write letters" Roger said, waving the iron. "Cos it's people like you and me, and Jas, and Spud, and Julian, and Dr V, and Prof Simone, and Pamela who keep the show on the road."

Mth Ava looked thoughtful. "And some of those people are..."

"Queer" he ended.

[Church of Lego @ChurchofLego]

"They're worried about..." Roger began.

"Oh, don't you think I know?" Mth Ava said crossly. "I'm worried about the parish-share, the safe-guarding, the GDPR and the head-count, but I don't write letters about it all the time, or nothing would get done."

"I dunno if the letter's important" shrugged Roger a bit oddly.

"Nobody reads this stuff, except for the people who've created an entire cottage industry out of being offended and outraged. Don't they have parishes to run?" Mother Ava steamrollered on.

"You've not seen this letter before?" Roger checked.

"I'm trying to plan Advent, prevent a Christingle fiasco, pay bills, avoid killing the Deacon and answer emails, and now another letter? If it's important, stick it in my to-do pile." Mth Ava replied.

[Church of Lego @ChurchofLego]

"Yes, another letter in anticipation of the not yet written official document" explained Roger.

"I s’pose that’ll come with a letter too" complained Mth Ava perusing a new book. "St Paul wouldn't have started writing if he'd known it would lead to this."

[Church of Lego @ChurchofLego]

"I mean the National letter from the seven Bishops about the gayz and the GAFFPRONE group" explained Roger patiently, pointing at the text.

"What? Who? No. There's been another letter?" yawned Mother Ava, leaning against the table in exhaustion.

[Church of Lego @ChurchofLego]

"Not the gas bill! The other letter. Evangelical bishops, marriage and sex" Roger said, waving it.

"You mean the Bishop’s letter about the head-count... Damn! We forgot it on Sunday" Mth Ava complained, half-listening & checking 3 social media accounts.

[Church of Lego @ChurchofLego]

"Did you see the latest Church letter?" Roger (the sacristan) asked, somewhat anxiously, whilst ironing the linen.

"I asked the Treasurer to pay the gas bill, as they helpfully sent us a bright red version" Mother Ava replied absent-mindedly, holding it.

Could you spare some of your Lego for a special project? https://t.co/CLn3m4lX5z

@h_ahartley Mother Ava says "all are welcome at Our Lady of Lego". After all, Jasmine always needs help with the Food Bank, Tracey (the church's pyromaniac) is happy to share the thurible and Roger, the Sacristan, says "have as much fun as you like, but don't leave the Sacristy in a mess!"

[Church of Lego @ChurchofLego]

"Hmm. Another drink?" suggested Father Judith hopefully.

"Home!" insisted Mother Ava, dragging the recalcitrant priest, as she vaguely recalled somebody once doing similarly for her. "We're walking each other home."
