The Church of England will never halt the decline until it stops the following:
1. Making Churchwarden two words
2. Revd Christian Name
Great sermon tonight from @simonjveardley at evensong, challenging us with the five 'demons' of today.
Point four of my strategy: If the Church of England were to fail, it would still be found in this parish. (q.v. Keble).
It’s just a constant round of things seemingly designed to discourage anyone with a heart, a soul or a brain from staying. All of which makes me more determined to never leave and be as awkward as possible.

Thanks to @Docstockk for this considered, thoroughly learned, and yet accessible book. A demolition job on the dystopian future that is being proposed to us. Keep raging.
An evening of farewell and thanks to the Lord Mayor of Chester, and a look round the Lord Mayor's Parlour. A portrait of a Sheriff who had 26 children, and @holland_tom book on Aethelflaed.
I suspect this will appeal more to @holland_tom and not the rational @dcsandbrook but ... King Harold did not die! He escaped to live as a hermit, here in Chester! And if you doubt it, someone even saw his ghost which spoke in Anglo-Saxon! @TheRestHistory chester.shoutwiki.com/wiki/H…

A huge honour to take this funeral, which brought Handbridge to a standstill.

The installation at St Mary's Handbridge was a memorable occasion ... then the weather made it even more memorable!

Stained glass by Trena Cox, Morris, and I suspect unknown others, at St John's Norley.

A Pint of Plum Porter, @vinesbighouse, last night, midway with @antSJD, on our post-Evensong progress round some of Liverpool's finest real ale taverns, beginning at Ye Cracke, ending at The Roscoe Head, by way of a very decent milk stout at the @LiverpoolBrew Tap on Lime Street.
