Too much time has passed since I've posted about the Diocese of Wenchoster, so today we'll have a look at what's happening there. First a word from the bishop. In his most recent column, at the diocesan website, the Bishop of Wenchoster speaks about the change of seasons and the troubles in the Anglican Communion:

Mr. Grindle continues the story without pausing for breath, but I'm afraid I must pause. You'll find the rest by clicking on the link above.

No sooner needed than it's here!
ReplyDeleteJohnieb, I don't know which of my three selections is my favorite. I do know that I can always count on the postings at the diocesan website to cheer me up in these grim times.
