I was present at (and a participant in) the discussion (which grew rather heated at times) of WO in the Chaplain’s rooms at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, on 21 November 1978 – at which she made that remark (which I recall distinctly).William Tighehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634494183165592707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-11764144274753346072016-11-06T01:20:49.849+00:002016-11-06T01:20:49.849+00:00PEN NAME: THRUPENCE

Fact. Nothing like shame to take Darth's fiefdom forward.<br />In the meantime remember: when asked if she was thinking of becoming the archbishop, she informed the people that she is going to do the bishopric of St David's first. That was her reply. I lie not. But birls and goys, after the first there has to be, by dint of grammer and possibly ambition , a next. Let's stay "immensely humbled".<br /><br /> My Welsh speaking friends were appalled at her interview through that tongue. Cultural groping at its worst, they said. Condescending linguistic nominalism hits our vulnerable identity, they squealed. Would that there be the same acceptable fluidity between the languages as between the genders, they moaned in jest. <br /> Pray that bishop elect will carry all her people on her heart.<br />Non bach, do your overtime, love. <br />That's how you kept David on track, wasn't it?<br />Thank you Non, for giving us a patron saint who is lasting longer than any prince.thrupencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07562542895474642638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-46998703990154304642016-11-05T22:06:19.731+00:002016-11-05T22:06:19.731+00:00Sitting watching 'Have I got more news for you...Sitting watching 'Have I got more news for you' ,I was motivated to look up the Credo Cymru web page!<br /> I found the following statement " We work and pray for the reunion of all Christians on the basis of the Catholic faith of the undividedj Church as received from Christ through the apostles, based on Scripture as the Word of God for all times.<br />So someone tell me what is stopping them, making the move for reunion with the 'undivided church'?Simple soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820918875811010809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-89787128571513419162016-11-05T20:33:52.445+00:002016-11-05T20:33:52.445+00:00Everything that Abp.

It seems he also manipulated the invitation list to the Credo Cymru conference.<br />However, the America Episcopal Church has gone one better and appointed the first black woman Bishop of Indianapolis.Simple soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820918875811010809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-33617625854247935232016-11-05T12:02:42.482+00:002016-11-05T12:02:42.482+00:00Interesting that the Bishop-Elect participated at ...Interesting that the Bishop-Elect participated at the recent conference, which was more or less by invitation only, wasn't it? It would suggest that her 'surprise' appointment was not such a surprise after all ... But encouraging words nonetheless from the Bishop-Elect that appear to demonstrate a 'gracious restraint' unknown in certain archiepiscopal quarters. Alannoreply@blogger.com
