@MapleAnglican No communion on Good Friday. We don’t bow or pay reverence to the altar on Good Friday at my church, as my deacon says “no body is home.”

@MapleAnglican And before Epiphanygate, I think you should address Circumcisiongate. 🤣

@MapleAnglican A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

@SarahFagg I’m terrible with liturgical terminology. I still crawl the crucifer “cross guy,” thurifer “incense dude,” chausable “the poncho,” and my particular favourite, ciborium “cookie jar.”

@RevDaniel If you become a bishop, then you get called a Right Reverend, plus you get a pointy hat and get to move diagonally. #Fabulous #RevDanielForBishop

@ChrisHeckman71 @PMOriginal @blitz923 @HMCSGlaceBay There’s a CRR!

@FrGeorgeReeves We didn’t have any cake at coffee hour after church yesterday, therefore not a real birthday party.

@ryanburge What if I, an Anglican, want to be difficult and identify as “catholic but reformed”?

Happy Easter!

Christ is risen!
The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!

#Easter #ChristIsRisen #Alleluia

@mikethenavyguy @MercedesGlobal My only issue is that Easter doesn’t necessarily fall during March, but “the holiday that occurs on the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox” is quite a mouthful.

[Joseph Poon @jym_poon]

@MapleAnglican My condolences.

[Joseph Poon @jym_poon]

@RevDaniel I post the same meme pictures every year for the Feast of St. Nicholas. 🤣

@djshirlaw @CdnNavalReview HMCS Glace Bay did not proceed up the St. Lawrence Seaway. They currently have an amended program visiting Atlantic Canadian ports. The ship will be alongside St. John’s, NL tomorrow.

As rescue efforts for the Titan submersible transition to recovery efforts, our Executive Officer, Lt(N) Poon, held a service on the sweep deck for Hamish, Shahzada, Suleman, Paul-Henri, and Stockton. May their spirits forever rest in peace. GLA has now set course for Halifax.

@robertlavigne @MalcolmFrench For the record, I led the memorial service on board HMCS Glace Bay but I am not a chaplain, I’m just the Executive Officer.

Things keeping me up at night…the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the early church. Why do I have a dread that Nicholas, Bishop of Myra is going to slap me?

@Murdocks1943 It’s like expired drugs, it’s still edible.
