The sermon on "The Feeding of the Five Thousand" began with words of Shylock from "The Merchant of Venice"
' I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you,
walk with you, and so following, but I will not eat
with you, drink with you, nor pray with you.'
The preacher continued "Does that not sound like certain Bishops who refused the invitation to Lambeth"
Hopefully the full sermon will be online in a few days and I will post more.
Sadly our Organist is leaving. Peter has just gained a position teaching music and religion at one of our leading Sydney Catholic College 'St Josephs'. He related how he asked at the interview if they were happy to have an Anglican teaching religion and they said, coming from St James, King Street he is more Catholic than the Catholics.
At the door I told our assistant priest who had just presided at the Eucharist, that I have spent 25 years teaching in Catholic schools. When I started I was an Evangelical and when I left I was an Anglo-catholic. Father John laughed and said 'At that rate Peter will cross the Tiber.'
