Fo Shizzle

I have to admit that this site looks rather better in this format.  With yet more thanks to Random Thoughts at Random for the gizoogle link.

 

Goth Eucharist

With thanks to Random Thoughts at Random for the link.

Despite the fact that I shudder with positively Presbyterian horror at what the Anglican eucharist involves (give me a service that includes a decent hunk of bread and a cup of wine any time, preferably with some meat, some cheese, some fish and more), especially where it heads off into the non-Biblical doctrine of the transubstantiation, I surprise myself by wholly approving of the gothic eucharist currently being offered by a vicar in Cambridge.  I approve partly because I believe in adapting the medium to the audience.  If we don't do that then we should celebrate communion in Aramaic, and that would, frankly, impact a little on Sunday turn-outs.  But I also approve because I am a goth, for all that those who know me from rugby, football, surfing or work may have trouble with thatt concept, and I'll happily bend principles where it suits me ;)

I just wish that I was anywhere near Cambridge a little more often.  Perhaps next time I visit relatives near Stanstead I should hire a car and pay a visit.
