What's with Williams? Is he turning out to be a disappointment?
"On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of the conditions. . . . It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews." -- Annie Dillard

St Mary's Parish Calendar
I've already noted that the St Mary's web site had a brief flurry of activity around the time of Owen Williams's arrival as its pastor-bishop (but not rector). But the most recent calendar update continues to be the October 8 feast of St Bridget of Sweden. Hmm -- just yesterday, we had the first Sunday in Advent; a week from today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, to Catholics a holy day of obligation and the sort of thing a putatively Anglo-Catholic parish might wish to celebrate. But the parish calendar is silent.
