I've invested a lot of my time, my life and, come to think of it, my money in this Community, and I feel more at home here than anywhere else (except with a sturdy pole in my hands on the Cambridge Backs, but that's another story). I'm sure I'm not alone, but I hold a senior position amongst us Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley, and I'm not sure what my revelation will do to its cohesion, or its members.
Mrs Hnaef knows, of course: how can I hide it from her? She's been more understanding than I thought anyone - particularly a woman - could ever be. But I'm not sure what it'll do to the Archdruid.
I've always known. I was born to be, and, as soon as I was old enough, even proud to be, that most dangerous and destabilising of creatures: I say it out loud, "I'm an Anglican. And proud."
But whither now? And how to break it to the Community? And most terrifying of all - to the Archdruid?

Now that is a revelation. You now owe loyalty to the Anglican Archdruid, otherwise knows as the ABC or Great Tufty.
ReplyDeleteBe prepared to listen to loads of podcasts, with deep theological content, which you will need a masters degree in theology to understand.
The other issues for you to face are:
1. Women in positions of authority over you.
2. Being liable for punishment due to a new covanant being pushed by the ABC.
3. Having to accept not knowing anything about what is going on in church, apart from being put on a rota for welcome, welcome team, sidesmen, server, reader, flowers, cleaning, organise house groups, churchyard maintenance.
4. Having to respect that each pew has its owner and that you sit there at your peril.
Welcome to the Anglican Communion!
