Here's the Archbishop of Canterbury, he's saying a worship ritual in his kitchen. No kidding, the leader, the apostolic head of the English Church is gettin' down like a bit-part chef in his plates-on-the-wall kitchen. Really? Yes, really, when he had all of Lambeth Palace to raise up the people to Christ and hope, strength and consolation in the Risen Lord.
That aside, why aren't COE clergy allowed to livestream services from their churches? Not optimal, granted, but better than some low-level, stripped-pine kitchen malfeasance. Maybe it's because Welby, an Etonian, didn't want his clergy to seem somehow elitist by, you know, saying worship rituals in their churches when everyone else is at home.
What utter, imbecilic, risible, faked up, hypocritical, weak, rubbish plate-on-the-wall uselessness. And what a total contrast to HRH Elizabeth II. She used her privilege, and it's not inconsiderable, to lift the nation and its people.
Of course the Queen represents the old and true England, unlike the laughable, equivocating, bishop figure currently holding down the See of Canterbury. But hey, when you're heading up the third largest communion in the world, do it in your kitchen coz that's a powerful message.
Your Pal,

How very dignified /sarc
Let's marry him off to the repulsive Fr. James Martin and maybe they can ride off into the sunset never to be seen again.
I could certainly have done without that! What a disgrace!!

He needs to do a cooking show. Cooking with Dobie. I'm sure that he could do a lot of English favorites, toad in a hole, bangers and taddies, and fish dishes for the common folk. I'd like to know his take on brussel sprouts, you know? I think that if he had a blue dog as a sidekick that it might be over the top, but other than that...
The cooking show would be more edifying and dignified than his current antics. Then again, he was always a bit of a clown and and an oaf at the same time.
For the show, he could take a large slug of wine between each procedure as he baked or fried, or prepped, and end up sloshed at the end of the episode. It would bring more viewers.
"...do it in your kitchen coz that's a powerful message".
Right. Because it isn't. Which makes me wonder, was that the real point? Dilute the message, dilute the faith.
He has just spent a fortune on an incredibly ugly new Library at Lambeth Palace. No request for contributions, he just wrote a cheque for £23.5 Million. He still has to fit it out so the final bill is going to be £40 million. The cost so far is 4 x the annual budget of the Diocese of Sheffield. The soon this man and his gang of rainbow unicorn grifters are gone the better!
Why didn't he wear pajamas? That would have felt more culturally relevant. Those garments are so elitist.
oh WAIT... I forgot... Easter isn't ABOUT Welby or quarantine or being relatable... it's about the RISEN CHRIST, who last time I checked, is pretty damn elite and ought to be venerated as such.
What a self-centered idiot.
If my priests had done that, I'd have been livid. We need reminders that God is omnipotent and NOT confined to a kitchen. (Besides, it's comforting to see the inside of the church I miss.)
Kid, such useless, lefty virtue signaling nonsense. And they wonder why England's not turned on by its State Church.
GREAT CALL, Adrienne. Might have to post on that.
Sorry, Sam. But we have to id the enemy.
LL, I do like TITH, I have to say. Yorkies too, which have a similar "base." That aside, the risible spectacle of Dobbie making out like "man of the people" in his palace underkitchen hardly inspires.
I'd have had some respect if he'd done it from the Travelers Club. He's a member and at least it would've looked good. But no, had to get all down with the stripped pine.
Useless.
Good call, RHT, and the faithlessness of the COE establishment's precisely in it. If they really believed in the Mystici Corporis, the Body of Christ which is our Holy Mother the Church, they wouldn't have shut down ALL THE CHURCHES.
Still, I'd argue Welby's kitchen carry on is apostate lite as opposed to a deliberate thing. An accidental outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual absence.
Whoa, Anon! I wasn't aware of the $40 mill vanity project. Good Lord. Please send detail, the world needs to know.
Jenny, I'd say you're right on. And here's the thing, UK GOV wanted the churches open and the COE hierarchs said NO.
I stand aghast at their malfeasnace which, at the end of the day, short-changes people of comfort, consolation, hope and spiritual strength. As you point out. Well, you know the saying:
Mene, mene...
Oh, don't be so-hard!
Two years ago, in an appalling incident Russian agents released a 'weapon-grade' nerve-agent in Salisbury, England.
Two years later, His Grace has come up with 'kitchen-grade' nerve agent.
