I belong to another mainline denomination, and one of my denominational colleagues attended an ecumenical service wearing a fetching purple clerical shirt and collar. The Rainbow priest almost had an aneurysm. The Anglican (Episcopal) preist-who was a friend-commented "I could not have been more surprised if you'd walked in wearing a wedding dress."Stewart Walkerhttp://Wow.Ssothsudbury.Canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381472662149763328.post-57522059241251443232014-04-05T02:04:07.000-04:002014-04-05T02:04:07.000-04:00You raise interesting points.

This is to relieve false hope or straight nausea. A celebration in Hingham by 3pm would be nifty!
