The clergyman across the road has whiskers and a bowler,
But I wear buckles on my shoes and sport a feriola.

@HMSDuncan @RFATidespring @HMSPWLS @RoyalNavy Umm, Sir. Did you mean for our gun to be pointing at POW?

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@HMSDuncan @RFATidespring @HMSPWLS @RoyalNavy The Royal Navy practicing the march past for Trooping the colour.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@HMSDuncan @RFATidespring @HMSPWLS @RoyalNavy Jump start?

@FideliumLondon @stalbansholborn Why won’t it continue at St Albans?

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@EvanAG1999 @DuncanHegan1 @HappyThurifer Yes that’s st Wilfred’s altar. There are several similar in the other chapels.

@liambeadle She’s still a woman.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@liambeadle I wouldn’t say so. Part of life is that we meet and work alongside many people with whom we disagree enormously.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@liambeadle Since when does disagreeing with someone make them unsafe to be open around? I disagree fundamentally with my own mother on the nature of Holy order. That doesn’t make it unsafe for us to be open with one another about it.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to return to a world of surnames? Do away with over familiarity and the blurring of boundries.

[Andrew Petiprin @AndrewPetiprin]

If a priest introduces himself as Father Surname, he should address his parishioners as Mr., Mrs., or Miss Surname. Same with Doctor Surname and patients. Same with college Professor Surname and students. Or we could just not fool with it and use Christian names.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@2D0XPS Pleasing to see some variety between dioceses in style in the letter of orders mine both have drop down seals.

My licences and certificate of having taken the oaths are sealed on the certificate and my collation certificate is also a drop down seal.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@AngAesthetics 3 fold holy order is one thing. If you can be ordained to one you must be capable of being ordained to all 3. This is because the diaconate and presbyterate all partake of the episcopate which is the fullness of Holy Order.

@JamesRice21 It’s the time energy and skill that it takes. I still need to finish off our new website but it took a couple of days to sort it out. Social media both has to be done but also you need to have the relevant policies and practices in place for it

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@JamesRice21 @dalinset A very Anglican thing to do. The transferral hasn’t been allowed by the RC’s since 2017

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@JamesRice21 10:00 here. Only 1h30 from Ashford by train.

@ruby_dunn01 @BMcGrewvy It never hurts to ask the question because the answer can always be “no”. But I do wonder how many vocations go unfulfilled because the question is never asked and so is never explored

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@ruby_dunn01 @BMcGrewvy Tbf I once heard someone say (and I can’t now remember who) that every young person should seriously consider if he is called to the priesthood or religious life. It’s sometimes a blunt question that finally gives someone a shove to get on with it.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@KingCrawa @2D0XPS I think I still hold the title of youngest vicar if not incumbent in general. I’m presently 27 and 360 days old having been vicar since I was 27 and 57 days old.

[Fr Stephen Miller SSC @StephenCM98]

@ruby_dunn01 I’m also pretty sure it isn’t hyphenated. Worth a check given how poor my spelling is.
