While I don't think you could describe the whole thing as Arts and Crafts - it is by the senior Gilbert-Scott, and comes across as rather like Oxford's Keble College on dodgier laudanum - St Michael and All Angels in Lyndhurst, Hampshire, has windows by Morris and by Burne-Jones. The latter has a strawberry-blonde Jesus... very Victorian!

I thought this gem from the Arts & Crafts churches thread deserved a wider audience.

AnnaB does a nice little parody on the "Broad Church" thread.

It's a church of sinners, a church of saints,
It's a church of bishops and syncophants,
Though GAFCON may deride,
still it can't be denied
It's a broad church after all!

Do you suffer from congenital workaholism or something? Look, I give to you enough food on the 6th day to cover both days 6 and 7. You do not need to forage on the 7th day. Just sit tight and take a break like you're told!

So the people rested on the 7th day.

There are plenty of other people I hate but I can't think of the details right this second other than people younger than me and older than me, richer than me and poorer than me, prettier than me and uglier than me, more liberal than me and more conservative than me - pretty much every one who isn't exactly like me, come to think of it.

And people who don't get their eyebrows waxed. I hate them too.

If that's the sort of thing being described, I have no problems with it, as long as no-one is put under pressure to do it (as prayer ministry for claustrophobia, it might not be the best method!)

If, on the other hand, it's a way to catch Anointing Cooties from the special people up front, then ewwww.

From "the coiled spring", on the thread about breaking JH Newman's body up for relics:

"Is it not wonderul that as Anglicans are still arguing about gay bishops, those nice boys in Rome have had a gay cardinal and now consider having a gay saint..
Eat your heart out Gene"

I cannot expect people to believe “
Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

And slow-cooking is just a waste of gas. Emissions trading schemes will put paid to that, we need all the carbon offset we can get to run the beer fridge.

The point is to serve God by oneness in christ, through faith, via grace. Charity is a consequence of that and not a meritorious act in itself (nor is others being fed an aim in itself).

Yes Bucca, all very well, but you still haven't answered my question: between now and the Second Coming, who should be responsible for the drains?

Zappa, on the Question thread in Heaven:
quote:

I love not splitting infinitives, because it breaks the cliched expectations.

Though I quite like to occasionally and with willful and nefarious intent with malice aforethought and cheerful nonchalance after the fact demonstrate how bloody stupid split infinitives can be.

Apprentice Salt cuts through the religious divide on barbecue:
quote:

BBQ is smoked meat. Any meat… brought to a state of perfection beyond description with time, heat and smoke. If your neck is red… your beer is free and cold… and your family and friends eat it with gusto and enthusiasm… you will understand that you have stumbled upon the true meaning and purpose of life… Thanks be to God!!!

Oh my, Zappa, what a magnificent put-down this was (in Hell, of course!)

When you kick Jesus off the Right Hand of the Father™, would you whisper a prayer in the ear of the Creator for those of us less perfect than your self?

OliviaG to Matt Black on how humans were "set up" to Fall:
quote:
Well, yeah. For starters, the garden wasn't properly child-proofed. And then there's the parenting stragety of "I'm going out now; don't touch the cookies on the kitchen counter." I don't think you even have to be a parent to know that's not gonna work, at least not in the early stages of the game.
