  1. Don't you think that a subtler name - the "Glory" Room, perhaps? - would be in order?

  3. I believe the late Marcel Duchamp was a consultant on the construction. There does seem to be a bit of Dadaism creeping into the Communion these days.

  4. It also occurs to me that the new facility is also relevant to the role of the bishop as focus of unity, in carrying out the aims of the church. Along with subsidiarity, urinality will become a hallmark of the Anglican Way.

    n.
    A European artistic and literary movement (1916-1923) that flouted conventional aesthetic and cultural values by producing works marked by nonsense, travesty, and incongruity.


    The movement does seem to have already infiltrated Anglicanism.

    Along with subsidiarity, urinality will become a hallmark of the Anglican Way.

    And where will that leave Bishop Katharine? Without a facility?

    It isn't visible in the documentary, but there is a matching st of thrones opposite the Urinalia.

  8. Oh well then, if there are thrones....

    "Talks have stalled."

    There's no end to it!
