I think we need a St Aldhelm's music festival. We can raise money for the Spitfire fund. Is your favourite canticle Stanford in B flat, Sumsion in A, or old school something by Samuel Sebastian Wesley?

"Are you sound in the canticles?" A question that resonates through the ages.

Replying to @AntoniaJLynn
@AntoniaJLynn In February 1991 my wife found from a scan that our baby had died in her. She had to have a D&C. Some US states will not allow that in future. If we were there I'd be a widower. And our 30-yr-old daughter wouldn't have existed.

Congratulations to @the_verger (Maurice Yeatman) for being a pointless answer on this afternoon's show.

Of your mercy, please pray for the peaceful repose of my beloved Mum, who died suddenly this morning.

At least he didn't baptise people using a plural pronoun or there'd be Hell to pay. theguardian.com/us-news/2022….
Feb. 27, 1922: A Boston-area minister is expelled from Presbyterianism for having "said grace flippantly," in one case declaring, "Lord, we thank thee for the French fried potatoes" and in another instance baptizing a dog. Edwin Curtis is defended by hundreds of his parishioners.
This is why I chose @the_verger for his job: his pulchritudinous wife.

Just what the Puritans ordered!
Cruciform watch made by Henry Terold, Bury St Edmunds, 1630-1640. (British Museum) Check the time & contemplate devotional scenes all at once.
Ever heard of Catherine Booth? Or, for that matter, have you ever read the Acts of the Apostles?
Did you know that women couldn’t be preachers if microphones weren’t invented? They don’t have the strong, powerful voices that carry like men’s voices do. God created men to be the preachers.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A woman can carry her voice without a microphone as well as a man. For instance, the loudest (verified) human scream was 129 dB (decibels) performed by Jill Drake, a woman. Source: guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/…

It's that Sunday again. I expect Mrs Fox will be displaying her magnificent puds later this week. youtube.com/watch?v=S3UqvWk8…

Have we finally discovered what was written on the back of my harmonium?
"It was Christmas Day in the workhouse And all the candles were lit..."

What would Jesus do? Well, it's documented in the Gospels that he'd say "don't let those suffering children anywhere near me".
