A slide of the tongue technique expression which tells us, 'we're not planning to quit after all'.<br /><br />As predicted, and, under eye of the 1 million or so readers of this blog,(in comparison with Radio Cymru), the 'Solid Morgan 60s Tour bus' has already hit the road. Bangor born Dewi Llwyd, an S4C favorite, take heed, the sleepless nights may soon be here. Job on the line? <br /><br />Today, a relic of an Elvis impersonator, Radio Cymru' very own milky bar kid, the Rev John Roberts on his Sunday morning chat show was lined up to whack the hide off Morgan critics. And "For my next trick, the amazing moving goal post". Tickets anyone?<br /><br />The venue probably being a BBC Radio Cymru studio, Wales' own illustrious Archbishop was not shot dead at the scene, but was as usual allowed by the usually tonsil wagging presenter Rev Roberts to utter quite a lot of nonsense about Me,me,me - women priest, invited to preach by Joanna, gays, homophobia ( for God sake will someone tell 'Him' that 'phobia' is a medical condition). Much like the Archbishop's sermons, this was another boring John Roberts chat show of an overly liberal mutual application of Swarphega soap gel. Hugs and congratulations all round please.<br /><br />Very soon these two end of the pier acts will be asking for a commission to find out why they are not more popular. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Enforcerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943009288993021671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-11150428941973388112016-12-31T19:56:25.702+00:002016-12-31T19:56:25.702+00:00Post Christmas break?

That isn't being treated equally. Happily at least one of the posts had no applicants which is hardly surprising giving the hint that men need not apply. (plus the fact that the jobs are basically 4-5 jobs rolled into one!)<br /><br />On a separate note, but while looking at decline.....why are so many churches cancelling their services this year for 1st Jan? It is a Sunday, and traditionally low Sunday. But post Christmas break for clergy this year has been longer than usual and does not include the Sunday? Perhaps this will start a new trend to cancel church on any Sunday which we feel will be poorly attended, but then Parish share would go up????!!!Danny Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592288086188672163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-57055720646518890052016-12-31T13:17:37.059+00:002016-12-31T13:17:37.059+00:00Understand the Old Testament to see what is happen...Understand the Old Testament to see what is happening now.<br /><br />History will repeat itself until consummation of the kingdom of God.Simple soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820918875811010809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-73333137104094635942016-12-31T13:08:26.016+00:002016-12-31T13:08:26.016+00:00An interesting titbit from a source in the RB.

How do you account for the Druids? Women priests are outside the Catholic tradition just like they. The priesthood within the Anglican Church now spells ICHABOD.<br /><br />Meanwhile, members of Her Majesty's judiciary of the Church in Wales dress in judicial attire at ordination and episcopal services and are also appointed, (for private fees) to preside over non judicial 'courts' which are 'private' jurisdictions. As one infamous Welsh silk proclaimed, "We continue as we please". <br /><br />Both groups, (female priests and the judiciary) do so using the veil of legitimacy. The former by impersonating a system known as 'Catholic tradition' which is a none arrestable offence in Wales since 1920, whilst the latter, being outside the jurisdiction of the Royal Courts of Justice, do so via kangaroo tradition or fraud - "Give me the verdict that I want".

I hop...Thank you for your cogent post this morning. I hope you don't mind me asking you to stress the important fact that the 'St Deiniol's Group' of the Church in Wales is nothing to do with us. We took our patronym(s) from the fact that St Deiniol was native to this area of West Wales where we continue to celebrate the mysteries of the catholic faith under the guidance of such faithful servants of Christ, as members of the Anglican Catholic Church. Some will know us, and might wish to come along to join us in worship sometime. I feel sure St Deiniol would have been happy to do so in person, as well, we pray, as in his role as an intercessor within the Communion of Saints. So, if people want a genuine source of inspiration, it is no to the 'St Deiniol's Group' but to the Mission of St Deiniol and St Asaph. The link below will tell people where we worship (a beautiful ancient castle chapel at Upton, 11 Mass every Sunday). A blessed Christmas to you and your readers.<br /><br />http://www.anglicancatholic.org.uk/mission-of-st-deiniol-and-st-asaph-eglwys-genhadol-sant-deiniol-ac-asaph/Fr Miles Maylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15294746124621996863noreply@blogger.com
