Strangely it was St. Mary's who first offered help to us when our roof (x2) came off ! They're not all bad..... Englandshire is an interesting liturgical place….

Let's just say it 'satisfies' the systematician in me. Actually, most of the 'high' stuff was at the bride's request (past tradition and recent Anglican weddings they'd been at - they stay in Englandshire) and I was happy to include as it gave me an opportunity to work it in 'appropriately' (to satisfy the systematic theologian).</p> Thanks for the feedback David.

When I read through your order it became clear very quickly that there has been a lot of thought put into it. My second thought was that it has the ring of a Systematic Theologian about it, including as it does the Creed. It is a bit too 'high church' for me, but that is irrelevant. What matters is that it will be significant for the people getting married, and an order that you can now 'tinker' with until you get one that you are completely comfortable with. As for Easter Saturday....traditionally nothing happens that day as the Church waits for the Resurrection (which you knew, otherwise you wouldn't have commented on the first and last time !!), It's a 'rule' I've overlooked too... (occasionally). I'm sure that you'll enjoy the day, and that the couple will have a service that they can remember.   The first wedding already…

I let Douglas, Gillian and John Coutts know yesterday. Douglas is talking of geting to the induction.

It'd be sad not to have you there. You've been a good friend and support. But I'm sure someone will be getting piccies.</p> That’s certainly the date that seems to crop up most often in discussion, but may yet shift. It’d be sad not to have you there.
