I see Andy Crap has managed to appoint two new Archdeacons. Bob the Builder must be furious not to have been promoted. More to the point, Mary Stallard must be relieved to have - eventually - got the promotion she has long desired after Gregorious Maximus took the highly popular decision of clipping her wings in St Asaph when she appeared on a one-way ticket to the skies. Now the fun begins as we sit back and watch it all unfold... As Crap's track record with putting powerful women in high places isn't exactly distinguished, I might just pop down to Wm Hill and put a few pennies on the likely outcome.

The Orthodox funeral I hope to have in the place of my burial comes into the latter category - as do numerous acts of hospitality to Roman Catholic, Orthodox and (in at least one case I know of) Methodist congregations for both regular and occasional services. Of the use by Anglican clergy of Roman liturgical material it is not my place to speak, although I have heard fairly compelling arguments in favour of the practice.Matthewhttp://googlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-80346223121974107422018-02-26T16:06:27.172+00:002018-02-26T16:06:27.172+00:00How many CinW clerics use CinW rites for their oth...How many CinW clerics use CinW rites for their other services?

The matter of marriage is definitely a legal one. The Vicar of the parish acts as registrar in his own church for Anglican marriage. He cannot be the registrar for a RC wedding. Then a civil registrar would be required. A civil registrar cannot do this for a RC wedding in A building authorised only for Anglican weddings.

Certainly RC weddings are not legal in Anglican churches. And funeral services in C in W must follow a CinW funeral rite. So that tells me you cannot have a RC funeral in an Anglican Church.

I am a member of the Orthodox Church and wish for my body to be buried with those of my parents in the churchyard of the CofE parish where we lived at the time of my father's death. (They were both RCs and were buried after Requiem Masses - in my father's case in the local RC church, but in that of my mother an RC service at the main CofE town church; not the one attached to the churchyard.) When I asked the incumbent to give permission for this she refused - only CofE services allowed, she said. I mentioned two recent instances of Orthodox funerals in Anglican churches in which I'd been involved, but this cut no ice; I can only hope that when the time comes she will have been replaced by a clergyperson of more enlightened views.Matthewhttp://googlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-46737321749156414442018-02-26T04:11:41.871+00:002018-02-26T04:11:41.871+00:00 to clarify i am a Anglican of the TAC kind to clarify i am a Anglican of the TAC kindMatthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456674919360020280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-61590207197727292652018-02-26T04:10:23.502+00:002018-02-26T04:10:23.502+00:00IRonic given that they were Catholic churches ...IRonic given that they were Catholic churches before 1535 but perhaps the HONOURABLE MEMBER could see if a ANGLO CATHOLIC service would suffice. but why cannot she wed in a CATHOLIC CHURCH of the Roman kind, you know the ones that were suppressed until 1829 Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456674919360020280noreply@blogger.com
