Lovely to have the Bishop of Huron visiting his parish church of St. John the Evangelist this morning. The youth proclaimed the Gospel in dramatic form and it was fabulous.
Best line is Joseph’s : β€œthere has been a lot of drama, Mary!”

I celebrated the Eucharist at a wonderfulβ€”if longβ€”funeral service for organ builder Gabriel Kney. He chose all the music (lots of lovely Bach) and he knew just how it would sound because he built our tracker organ at St. John the Evangelist, London. Requiescat in pace, Gabriel.

I, like most Canadians, would rather stick needles in my eyes than ever become American πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ (with apologies to my American friends)

together as a nation, it is this deranged demagogic idiocy. I am remembering the vibe around the 1995 referendum. While I am not totally confident that the same thing would happen today wrt Quebec succession, it absolutely would in the case of an American annexation threat 2/3

Here’s the thing. Canada will never become part of the US. Ever. Constitutionally and politically it would be hugely difficult. Socially and culturally it would be impossible. Canadian identity is essentially predicated on not being American. If there is anything that can bring Canadians 1/3

Type of the perpetual virginity of Our Lady. The office of the circumcision is very Marian

This ordo corresponds to the #AnglicanBreviary in almost every respect. So pleased that my copy arrived today, delayed by the Canada Post strike, but all ready to begin the new calendar year tomorrow

Immensity cloistered in thy dear womb, Now leaves His well-belov’d imprisonment, There He hath made Himself to His intent Weak enough, now into our world to come; But O, for thee, for Him, hath th’inn no room? (John Donne)

Favourite is probably β€œIn the Bleak Midwinter.” And while I share your antipathy for the horrid coin, I loathe the Little Drummer Boy with the burning heat of a thousand suns

I have just obtained a beautiful BCP altar missal that is the *entire* 1962 BCP and not the abbreviated, Holy Communion-only version that I have seen and used heretofore. Anyone know anything about it? It’s a Cambridge University Press printing from 1962.

I think that this is very insightful about the CWOB folks. Thanks!

I hope that this will not be the case. I think that overall consensus can change, perhaps by diocese, while still leaving a place for those who faithfully hold a different theological view. I support that 100% & am committed to making it work. (Of course that makes me unpopular with everyone)
