    My wife is a retired priest in the Church of England, one of the first ordained. We are in interregnum right now and so she is helping out in a quite 'high' Anglo Catholic, until very recently previously 'men only' A&B measures, parish, so with some trepidation she celebrated communion today, the first Sunday of Lent, and I preached.

    She is also registered blind and has to use her new iPad to read the service from, while others prepare the table and do the ablutions for her. The servers and Thurifer are all most helpful for her. It was agreed by many who came forward to say afterward that she did it all very well and meaningfully.

    All went well until the Final Dismissal.

    "Go in peace, to Love and Serve The LORD". She said.

    To which Siri helpfully responded for all to clearly hear over Christine's radio mic:

    "You'll need to be on line to do that".

    The congregation fell apart laughing.

    As our choir processed out there was not a single face not smiling.

    Going in peace to love and serve the LORD should certainly be done on line too though nowadays. :hmm:

    Our rector began Sunday's sermon by posing the question, do zombies exist? He mentioned the "Walking Dead" show and its spinoffs, as well as the many movies and shows that have been made, which reflect ancient questions about whether the dead walk among us. He intended to explain that the unredeemed are 'walking dead' in a spiritual sense. But before he could reach that point, his visiting granddaughter (about 4 years old, I think) sitting in the front pew said loudly, "Zombies are not real!" Everyone got a chuckle.
