At last! One of the press releases pays off, very modestly. I sent PR #3 earlier to all my news contacts, and it’s more of a peppy upbeat thing than this one, which is cut and pasted from the original PR with quotes inserted by the diocesan communications guy – I had asked him to pass it along to Episcopal Life Online. That’s okay, I’ve got a contact now… we’ll see how that pans out.

I haven’t blogged the big news in great detail yet, but here it is: Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, head of the Episcopal Church, is coming to visit St Nicholas in Elk Grove Village, my parish. She’ll be wearing her pointy hat and carrying her curly stick and all, and we’re over the moon about it, and also now the panic is setting in. Father Steve wrote a press release, and I’ll be sending various versions of it out to The Media, and area Episcopal and other churches, and probably to area social service agencies and support groups. The gist…

 There are several “hot spots” in the Episcopal world, where churches or entire dioceses have already split away, or are working towards splitting away. One such is Falls Church, VA, site of one of the oldest and most wealthy Episcopal churches in the country, which became very conservative over the last few decades. Recently, they aligned with the Diocese of Nigeria, overseen by Bp. Akinola. But a significant fraction of the church did not go with them – although they didn’t have control of the property, so they began meeting nearby. The former Falls Church, now a CANA church, is…

Some days ago several Anglican wagses Went on a pub crawl, for to maken pilgimages To memorialize the Good Bishop of Southwark, Who once one Yule made merry, very merry, ‘thout shirk. And they wore costumes, and took pictures, and stopped traffic. Based on a real incident, with a real bishop, and a real Mercedes full of Christmas toys, and an (unbaptized) bear named Teddy. It’s all highly amusing, at least if your college career included an intensive study of Chaucer in the original Middle English, and you’ve since become a high-church Episcopalian. I’m left with just one niggling question:…
