Annunciation - Lady Day in Lent. Old English meaning of 'Lady' was 'kneader of bread' (hlafdige); 'Lord' (of the manor/shire) (hlafweard) meant 'keeper of bread'. 'Dough' is still slang for money, and we still speak of 'bread-winner'. In Aramaic, Bethlemen meant 'town of bread'.

What an extraordinary document. It’s no surprise, but its brazen approach is still shocking. What does “new congregations and fresh expressions all rooted in the Anglican tradition” mean? Nothing, anything, everything. Anglicanism reduced to a soil for experimental pot plants.

And what does this mean on the ground? You guessed it: redundancies. Fewer priests celebrating fewer sacraments to fewer people. And yet, what’s this? “If we had enough money would we still do this? Yes” Well there we are.

We were so grateful to the Friends of the Cathedral for organising this and such a privilege to be with one and all. Thank you!!
