If you think you don't belong, you belong here.
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.I don't know about you,
but I practice a disorganized religion.
I belong to an unholy disorder.
(Kurt Vonnegut 1922 - 2007)

Its that sort of complacency that makes having notorious, inflamatory, outspoken activists such as Elizabeth Kaeton, Louie Crew and Madpriest evil necessities. (DBW)

If asked, just tell them that you really did have to wash your hair that night.
I wonder if regular visits from the depressed surly copy-machine repair man come with their new Cannon?
Hope George brings his gloves. Copier toner, like church politics, can get a bit icky sometimes...
Glad to see that you have not "sold out to The Man," MP.
The Archdeacon of Lindisfarne...
I suppose it's too much to hope that The Fog On The Tyne will be the processional hymn?
To counter the anticipated deluge, MP has signed up for advanced studies in the ancient Japanese art of origami.
"Honorary Canons of the Cathedral
would be most welcome to robe."
Well I should certainly hope so. Can't have the old biddies fainting dead away.
You are very, very naughty.
Being a saint, Aidan really doesn't mind sitting in the cheap seats for once.
Don't discount the old biddies, they need entertainment too.

C'mon, MP.
Honorary Canons of the Cathedral would be most welcome to robe.
You wrote about this once (link). Can you really pass up the chance to see that in person?
Every year, for the Archdeacon's Visitation, the clergy are invited to robe, and every year our Chapter have unanimously decided against it.
This year, because the new Bishop is attending, we are told that the clergy WILL robe.
We have yet to have our Chapter meeting ...
Dishonorary canons are welcome to disrobe.
pj, LOL. Are they allowed to run down the runway after disrobing?
Adam Bradley, thanks for reminding us of that great 'canonical' post & comments thread from last November. It was great to revisit that.
This just screams out for some kind of creative, immature college prank, with due diligence that it cannot be traced back to the perpetrators.
This tree must go overboard!
:evil grin:
Unfortunately, the "Canon" product that would have come to my mind first is ..... the endoscope! Yup, that meter-long snaky thing they put up your butt in order to look at what's inside (not much, after a gallon of "Go-Lightly" - yes, that's what the concoction is called).
Aren't you lucky to have a medical type or two to chime in?
NancyP
I no longer indulge in such deviant practices, but it does sound like a delightful addition to the ritual for an Archdeacon in the CoE.
And your information is misleading; endoscopic exams, as I know you know, may start from either end.
Yes. But then sometimes no. NancyP
What exactly is an archdeacon on your side of the pond? The term has some less than precise definition over here.
Thanks!
FWIW

Over here an archdeacon is someone who (a) has some oversight functions over deacons and (b) can raise a single eyebrow.
You're not going and wearing one of Eileen's Psychic Gay Network t-shirts?
The toner for the Canon is also useful on Ash Wednesday. The RC church down the street and round the corner from us, ran out of ashes one year, and the priest at the time decided to use the "Holy Toner" instead.
People kept wondering why their ashes didn't wash off very well...
The perfect definition of an archdeacon is "one who performs archidiaconal functions".
Any clearer? Me neither.
johnieb, for the archdeacons, the endoscopy is done through the end they use to speak with - as per MP and others, usually the nether end.
