Yesterday went very well, I am pleased to say.  The weather was sunny and warm and people were generous in their contributions to the lunch, which was just as well as we had a lot of people turn up for it.  The service celebrating our Church's founding was also very well attended: our largest congregation this year.  So I start the week with a sense of gratitude as well as relief!

There has been much talk here about the Pope's recent overtures to disaffected Anglicans, especially those in the CofE.  I find the whole thing rather sad, not because I don't respect the Pope, but because I do.  This move seemed ill-timed and ill-conceived.

Anyway, I came across this flow chart and thought that while it too was sad, it, nevertheless, made the point in an amusing way.
