Grandmere -- This is Susan H. at Father Jake's, but you actually know me from MadPriest's. Wasn't sure if you made the connection, because I don't comment very often at Jake's. With MP out of town, I've been there more often.
Just wanted to let you know who I am. I use Susan H. at Jake's because there are waaaay too many Susan's there! Helps lessen the confusion.
I'm including my e-mail address if you'd like to be invited to my blog. Sorry if I was touchy today -- it's been one of those days. And I still think you would whip those bishops into shape for us! :)
Not everything the Blessed Percy Dearmer did was above reproach. In 1931 he commissioned a hymn from the children's author Eleanor Farjeon for the new edition of his hymnal "Songs of Praise". The result, decades before Cat Stevens, was "Morning Has Broken". Next time you have to sit (or stand) through a sorry rendition of this piece in church, thank Percy!
Cher Grandmere, I hope you enjoyed your visit to our Diocese. You are always welcome, and if you knock on the Deanery door at around 4.00 p.m. any day you'll be invited in for tea. Cucumber sandwiches and fairy cakes in the summer, hot buttered crumpets and Mrs Grindle's fig and onion flapjacks in winter. All washed down with a nice cup of Darjeeling Fair Trade tea. It really is very nice living in a Cathedral Close and part of the Church of England.
Dean, thank you for your kind invitation. I enjoy all my visits to the diocese, and as soon as possible, I will stop in for the Darjeeling Fair Trade and the other tasty tea treats. I may have to decline - with great regret! - Mrs. Grindle's fig and onion flapjacks, due to a weak stomach.
When I was first ordained we never had a problem getting to the WC during breaks at clergy confernce. Now???? takes a 1/2 hr.

Yes...this is my kind of diocese.
ReplyDeleteLike Susan H, I would put you in charge of the bishops. Someone ought to take them in hand...

ReplyDeleteLindy, if I was in charge,I'd order an end to the purple shirts. What were they thinking?
ReplyDeleteLapin, I'll remember that handy bit of information next time I hear the hymn. You're a walking encyclopedia.

Whoa! A word from the Dean of Wenchoster!
