Apparently he doesn't 'like the sound of French very much'. He asked me if I like Science Fiction and fashion. Anyway, one thing is absolutely clear. God is American. Check out the spelling!  |

Sorry Tommo, I didn't recognize You. I'll pay much closer attention to your future posts Your Trinity.

Oh dear. I seem to have crashed God. I only asked a simple question...

I never, never cared for the theory that "prayer is just chatting with God." When you are with someone you love, you don't need to chat on about yourself all the time, you can just hold hands.

Tommo, you have to type in the long box at the bottom, then click on Repent. The Boss will then give you his undivided attention  Ah, now I understand. At work, something to do with the firewall must have stopped this working. All I got was "Me:" and then the sentence I wrote. The cursor disappeared and there was never any answer. Now I am at home I am getting some response. Obviously my computer at work is an Atheist.  Tommo |

From the Church of Wales website:
Press Release
New Bishop of Bangor elected
The Archdeacon of Cardigan, the Venerable Andrew John, is the Bishop Elect of the Diocese of Bangor.
The announcement was made this afternoon by the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, at the west door of Bangor Cathedral on the third and final day of the meeting of the Electoral College.
The election follows the death of the Rt Rev Anthony Crockett in June, who served as bishop of the diocese from 2004. The new bishop will be the 81st Bishop of Bangor, serving an area stretching across north-west Wales from Holyhead to Llanidloes.
The Ven Andy John, 44, has served as Archdeacon of Cardigan since 2006. He grew up in Aberystwyth and has spent all his ministry so far in the Diocese of St Davids. He is married with four children and is a fluent Welsh speaker. He has recently pioneered a course in Christian evangelism for the Diocese of St Davids, called Menter.

Five members of my parish were confirmed today, and three of them baptized.
Instead of waiting for a bishop to visit us, we went to the Cathedral, ie St Pauls.
The Bishop of London is an very, very busy and important person, so he delegated the job to the Dean of St Paul's, who is also a bishop, having previously been Bishop of Sodor and Man. (Pronounced he told me as Soda and Man.)
Most of the event took place under the dome, including the bishop/dean preaching a sermon without notes walking about in the open space under the dome - the first five minutes were a shaggy dog story about his childhood holidays, which were hilarious, but not very relevant to the occasion. ( There is a difference between a sermon and an after dinner speech, and I'm not sure Dean Graeme Knowles knows it.)
The gospel was read by a woman deacon from a lectern a third down the aisle, raised up so her feet were a few feet above the heads of the congregation.
For the baptism, the bishop and candidates moved to the far end of the cathedral while we sang Come down O Love divine. He then says "Don't be boring Anglicans. I won't start until you all join us down here."
It was nice to have the whole space of that building used, and not for some pompous establishment event, but to affirm all sorts of people of different genders, ethnic origins, sexuality and backgrounds.
The last time I saw a bishop at work was Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor at Westminster Cathedral, who managed to cut the Kyrie and Gloria, to the frustration of the choir master. Dean Graeme Knowles won for far more style.

I have the Easter Mass from Westminster Cathedral with Father Cormac Murphy O'Connor. I just mention this, apropos of nothing, plus I too cannot ride a bicycle.

And to at least two non-Opus Dei-related members of the congregation. He also tripped and fell as he stood down from the lectern after his sermon, but recovered quickly to reassure the assembled worshippers with a smile and a joke. |

I asked God whether he/she/it was male or female. Didn't seem to know, but much worse, he/she/it didn't know what the Trinity was, either.

 Didn't know? Or just didn't feel like telling you? |

He/she/it didn't really answer. I also asked about Creation, and didn't get much of an answer on that either. Next time, I'm going to ask about Sarah Palin's place in the universe.
