What A Good Day!

 

In some dioceses you don't want the bishop to visit because the prelate in question is an enemy of the One Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church they hypocritically profess to uphold. In short, they're raging heretics, you don't want them around. 

That in mind, thank God this isn't true in the Anglican Diocese of Fort Worth where we're blessed good bishops who stand for the Faith. So it was a joy to welcome Bishop Reed to the Missions today.

There were adult Confirmations in both churches, a real blessing, and then, after the second service, a great potluck of a feast at Mission #2. What a good result and no, there weren't any liturgical dancers or wymxn priestess figures at either church, that's not allowed.

In related news, the dog just tried to eat a nasty book by the repellent Rosemary Radford Ruther, Sexism & God-Talk. He nearly threw up, poor animal, perhaps that'll be a lesson to him.

A Good Sunday

Dick Harries Possessed by a Margarine Demon?

I've served in several dioceses where Anglicanism was pretty much new normal, i.e. tenuously Christian. In Oxford, for example, we were led by Bishop "Dick" Harries (how'd he get to be a "Baron" anyway?), who despite being a Green Jacket was possessed by a margarine demon. Then there was Jane Dixon (pro tem) and, and I won't go on. All fine, of course, if you're into praying to the Goddess, or walking labyrinths, or whatever neo-Unitarian, quasi-gnostic  nonsense you feel like inventing at any given moment. It's all OK if you're a Pelosianite Episcopalien, not so good if you're a Christian.

Bishop Iker, Good Man

So you can imagine my relief at having a bishop like Jack Iker; when he visits the Missions to Confirm and Baptize it's all good. The Word preached, the Sacraments administered and it's the Faith of the Church and I tell you, that's at a right premium.

Rare

Today's Confirmations went well, so did the Baptism. A parishioner gave me a "brick" of .22LR by way of thanks. Shooters will understand that that's not shabby.

God bless,
