We felt we should mark this anniversary of the Buncefield explosion with a suitable act of worship.
Therefore......
The order of service for the 9 pm observation of "What the heck was that?"
Introit - "Fire" in A (Brown)
9.05 - Pouring out of Beakers (full of Kerosene)
9.10 - Lighting of the sacred flame
9.15 - Running around like headless chickens
9.20 - A moment of silence, as we reflect that whatever Buncefield did to Hemel Hempstead's house prices, it was nothing compared to what sub-prime trailer parks in the US managed
9.25 - Another, more profound, moment of silence as we remember we had mates who worked there - and give thanks it happened in the middle of the night.
9.30 - Discovery that the sacred flame and the kerosene have unexpectedly got too close together
9.31 - More headless-chicken behaviour, this time in earnest
9.32 - The Blessing - "Rejoice, it could have been much worse".
It is quite clear that the Archdruid has more than just a talent for creative liturgical practice. I believe that the University of Wales at Lampeter offers a MA programme in this field - perhaps this is something for Mother Eileen to consider?

Will the archdruid be publishing a collection of Beaker Liturgies.
