@MapleAnglican No communion on Good Friday. We don’t bow or pay reverence to the altar on Good Friday at my church, as my deacon says “no body is home.”

Canadian Anglicans: Who here has actually seen a celebration of the Eucharist on Good Friday using the BAS? Not a distribution of the sacrament! An actual *celebration* of the Eucharist... using the BAS. And, go!

@MapleAnglican And before Epiphanygate, I think you should address Circumcisiongate. 🤣

Over at the Sky place #WAT is having a polite conversation about the proper name for The Epiphany. I'm calling it #Epiphanygate.

@MapleAnglican A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

@SarahFagg I’m terrible with liturgical terminology. I still crawl the crucifer “cross guy,” thurifer “incense dude,” chausable “the poncho,” and my particular favourite, ciborium “cookie jar.”

Mini existential crisis when I was shown around the sacristy last week. No clue what anything is called.... no clue how to lay out robes...I'm clearly an evangelical who thinks they are catholic....#awkward 🤣🤣🥰😍

@RevDaniel If you become a bishop, then you get called a Right Reverend, plus you get a pointy hat and get to move diagonally. #Fabulous #RevDanielForBishop

@ChrisHeckman71 @PMOriginal @blitz923 @HMCSGlaceBay There’s a CRR!

Looking good team! Thank you for your service to everyone serving in HMCS Glace Bay, HMCS Shawinigan, #SNMCMG1, and to all the loved ones serving Canada/#NATO at home so we can continue to serve at sea. @PMOriginal @blitz923 @HMCSGlaceBay

@OfficialComent Gladys

My friend is looking for an old-fashioned name for her baby girl! What is a classic grandma's name?

@FrGeorgeReeves We didn’t have any cake at coffee hour after church yesterday, therefore not a real birthday party.

@ryanburge What if I, an Anglican, want to be difficult and identify as “catholic but reformed”?

Young folks are almost completely unaware of what the term "Protestant" means. They are 2.5x more likely to say that they are "Christian" than Protestant. That's going to make religious classification much harder going forward.

Happy Easter! Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia! #Easter #ChristIsRisen #Alleluia

@mikethenavyguy @MercedesGlobal My only issue is that Easter doesn’t necessarily fall during March, but “the holiday that occurs on the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox” is quite a mouthful.

@MercedesGlobal I don't speak for others, but this Vet isn't remotely offended. I wish people would instead turn their attention to the backlog of files at veterans affairs. If people want to be upset about something, I think that would be a better effort for Veterans.

Getting traffic from Veterans who are angry about this VAC post referring to “March holiday season” on Easter weekend.

@MapleAnglican My condolences.

I lost my job today.

@RevDaniel I post the same meme pictures every year for the Feast of St. Nicholas. 🤣

@djshirlaw @CdnNavalReview HMCS Glace Bay did not proceed up the St. Lawrence Seaway. They currently have an amended program visiting Atlantic Canadian ports. The ship will be alongside St. John’s, NL tomorrow.

@CdnNavalReview You forgot HMCS Glace Bay is stuck too.

US Navy commissioned USS Marinette in September, but newest Littoral Combat Ship is stuck in Cleveland on Lake Erie. St. Lawrence Seaway employees are on strike so ship can't get to the ocean. news.usni.org/2023/10/25/uss…

As rescue efforts for the Titan submersible transition to recovery efforts, our Executive Officer, Lt(N) Poon, held a service on the sweep deck for Hamish, Shahzada, Suleman, Paul-Henri, and Stockton. May their spirits forever rest in peace. GLA has now set course for Halifax.

@robertlavigne @MalcolmFrench For the record, I led the memorial service on board HMCS Glace Bay but I am not a chaplain, I’m just the Executive Officer.

@MalcolmFrench HMCS Glace Bay had the medical teams and the divers on board ... regrettably .. it was her Chaplin who led the memorial service

USCG presser about the lost submersible Odd The thing was discovered by CDNs Using a CDN ROV From a CDN ship The effort was supported entirely from St John's .. with Canadian Coast Guard ships RCAF Auroras constantly dropping sonobuoys AND yet "Canada" was never mentioned

@MapleAnglican The heresy of partialism #Voltron

What's your favourite Heresy?

Things keeping me up at night…the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the early church. Why do I have a dread that Nicholas, Bishop of Myra is going to slap me?

@Murdocks1943 It’s like expired drugs, it’s still edible.

My avocado cups expired in June. I think it is worth the risk.
