Fr David Burrows

@liturgicalben @gerrylynch In s few places. SPCK actually produced little stickers to adhere to Rite A or Rite B Holy Communion Booklets to advertise the practice.

@gerrylynch Fascinating. Am I right in thinking there was a move towards intinction in the CofE during this period, partially encouraged by the lack of knowledge surrounding AIDS?

Signs of the times in 1988 - AIDS, sex, and gender at the annual Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Montreal. I can practically hear the Erasure soundtrack to this. #EcclesiasticalHistoryRocks

@M0XRL I’m in pieces here already, and still 2 years to go!

@FrBurrows I guess you're part of the furniture :) You will be missed when the time to retire comes Fr. David

I am not quite sure what conclusion to draw from this, but it has been pointed out to me that I was already serving in these Parishes before either of the two bishops-designate in this Diocese were even ordained.

@frjonathanbish @agardenpath @alicelydiajoy Standard practice at St John the Baptist Halifax until after the year 2000!

@frjonathanbish @agardenpath @alicelydiajoy It is fascinating to reflect how, even a quarter of a century ago, Copes were still in use at the Altar in all sorts of places, where to use one now seems exceptional.

@PriceLaurence @DrFrancisYoung @FrPhilipMurray All settled in 1662. Fixed until the parousia.

@DrFrancisYoung @FrPhilipMurray Yes- I'm not sure I'm really here for a civic monarchy. If poetry isn't on offer, I'd choose silence over prose.

Given the responses to my Michael Ramsey tweet, I wonder if we might ‘save’ the Anglican Communion by remembering that all we have in common is a fund of stories about Michael Ramsey?

@GaryWaddington @StWilfHarrogate Is your tree on fire?

Ah - perfect eve of coronation weather: Lightning, thunder, hail and heavy rain! Still, it’ll all clear by the time our solemn mass to pray for HM The King & HM The Queen begins @StWilfHarrogate at 7pm (Hopefully!)

Has prayed for the Queen Consort for the final time.

@BishopMark1 De-la-Noy says shopping in Cambridge. I would not be surprised to read alternative takes.

@FrBurrows Hadn't he gone for a haircut?

Current favourite Coronation story: Bishop Michael Ramsey having to be retrieved by the Police from a Cambridge Bookshop because he had forgotten that he was supposed to be in the Abbey for a rehearsal with the Queen present.

@DukeEmerson The Magnificat.

Evening prayer buddy.

@andrewpconnell ‘Ah were teaching catechism wi mitre on mi ‘ed when you were still ‘eretic.’ Yorkshire.

@FrBurrows Reminds me of what the C19 RC Bishop Ullathorne said to Cardinal Manning : 'I was teaching the Catechism with a mitre on my head when you were still a heretic!'

@tigerrector It will, however, fit nicely into your Breviary…

@tifferrobinson @liturgicalben @chinmj 16? Leeds: hold my coat..

Going to put my head above the parapet and say that if your entire Diocese has fewer than 90 confirmands in a year questions about the necessity of your Suffragan Sees should follow pretty quickly.

Skipton Railway Station is quite magnificent.

@CyrilDash Absolutely, and good to see that the Ordinariate use essentially the same Collect as the C of E.

@M0XRL ‘Do you not know who I am?’

@FrBurrows If you decide to vote, don't forget your papers.

My favourite part of #LocalElections Day is receiving a little map to tell me where one of my Churches is.

@polly_speight @liturgicalben @Gda1238 @SChads1 @GoldieChrisG Looks at a number of copies here..sighs at words ‘On the Inventory.’

@liturgicalben @Gda1238 @SChads1 @GoldieChrisG 🤣
