@cath_cov Funny how they use an Rzc version of the Lord's Prayer.

Amateur writer, I have a clever idea once a year, around Michaelmas. Sailing down the Tiber and up the Thames. https://t.co/aOQGTlQoTb

"We therefore commit their bodies to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body, (when the Sea shall give up her dead,) and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."

@dom_potwor Graveside part starts at
“When they come to the grave, while the corpse is made ready to be laid into the earth, the Priest shall say, or the Priest and Clerks shall sing:”

Help me Anglican twitter I need your help? What would be the appropriate vestments for a vicar to wear at a graveside burial, assuming this is a relatively high and dry funeral. Which rite in the Prayer Book would be used? Many thanks.
English
@_F_B_G_ This is incredibly helpful, thank you Father!
English
@dom_potwor In the 1662 there is a space earlier on in the prayer (our dear brother/sister N here departed) where I name. I tend to then just say commit his/her body but I wouldn’t think it odd if the name was substituted instead.
English
@_F_B_G_ I'm trying to write a scene and want it to be as accurate as possible.
English
@_F_B_G_ Thank you, Father! Would that be 'We therefore commit his body to the earth. Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust...' etc? Would it ever be appropriate to substitute the name of the deceased?

@_F_B_G_ I never knew Archbishop Cranmer also wrote 'In the Air Tonight'. A man of many talents!

Looking forward to helping lead the commemoration of the 470th anniversary of the martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer at the University Church in Oxford tomorrow. 11am, all most welcome.

More Canadians volunteered for the Vietnam War than Americans did in the Second World War prior to Pearl Harbour.

Ben Shapiro says in a recent video it is a "form of sedition" that our allies, Canada, UK, Australia, EU, etc. do not join America and Israel's war with Iran. That those countries are not actually allies. After years of Trump attacks, threats, tariffs. Is he insane?

I find the thought of him going undercover deeply funny as he looks exactly like his Grandfather down to the moustache.

A Conservative peer has branded West Midlands Police "corrupt" after going undercover to find out how the force increased its income from HS2 deliveries 70x over just five years. Earl Attlee posed as "John the driving assessor" in the cab of lorries carrying abnormal loads.

Rejoice in the fact the cars were, often, shit and that the Germans did it better. Everyone's a winner!

I have a compromise for the new Bank of England notes: Leyland cars, but none of the sexy ones: Austin Allegro, Morris Ital, Morris Marina, Rover 3500. Traditionalists can enjoy the tribute to British Engineering, and the 'everything was shit until Blair' crowd can 1/2

@_F_B_G_ Anthony Eden and Supermac without moustaches might be my favourite.

@dom_potwor Haha yes I saw this too- I think the double cigar in Churchill’s mouth might be quietly the funniest aspect- though Attlee as Lord Home v funny too

I think a very underrated aspect of AI is its creation of an entire new genre of absurdist humour, as per below:

@Madz_Grant Pierce Brosnan was darker that Craig era Bond.
English
Bond under Craig didn’t get serious and dark, or at least it didn’t stay that way for long. They had all kinds of dumb nonsense: man-eating nanobots, a ‘long-lost brother’ plot that was basically cribbed from Austin Powers. It was just done without much humour or self-awareness
Emir Han@RealEmirHan
Daniel Craig said the reason James Bond movies got serious and dark was because of Austin Powers movies “We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f*cked us.” “I am a huge fan, so don’t get me wrong, but he made it impossible to do the gags." x.com/VideoChannel13…
