Anglicans in Lentegeur
This afternoon I attended (well, took part in, insofar as I had a line to say) the institution of the new rector of the Anglican parish in Lentegeur. I have realised that I don't know much about Anglicans, actually. It was good to be part of the service and to meet the new priest in the area. I hope that we connect further - she is also of the female persuasion and this is her first parish as rector (if I understand all the terms correctly!)
This is the bishop of the diocese of False Bay, Merwyn Castle.
The lady kneeling with the purple hood is the new priest Ruth Swartz.

What exactly is the female persuasion? :-)
I've been reading too much Terry Pratchett and have borrowed his turn of phrase. It's how he puts it when the character speaking seems to feel it a little politically incorrect to speak of gender or race and uses this to hide his embarrassment.
Ok, one can't read too much Terry Pratchett, but I have just finished one of his books. I meant that she is a woman priest!
Ah, I'll have to read Pratchett. It just struck me as a rather curious juxtaposition of something one can do nothing about and the word persuasion. Being, I suppose, of the female persuasion myself but not a priest which means perhaps not persuaded after all...
