<p>First out were the 5 & 6 year olds who were completely bamboozled by the whole process (note Kate's concerns about children and thuribles) so being the closest to the front (the Catholic staff were all lining up for confession) I rounded them up knelt down with them, told them about God gathering their prayers up like incense, we watched the smoke rise and said the Lord's Prayer together. It was all quite sweet.</p>
<p>Only no sooner were we done when the grade 2's showed up.</p>
<p>For an hour I stooped over that stuff as I worked my way up to grade NINE.</p>
<p>I contemplated filing a WCB claim, but there's no coverage for that...<br />
I contemplated going to confession to confess my uncharitable thoughts about the priest's incense idea...</p>

<p>As an aside, I can sit in a smelly room of cigarette smoke and not be bothered by incense really does a number on me. :)</p>Kate commented on 'Affirming Laudianism - your best Anglican resource'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d834515ec969e2010535ccce4b970b2008-11-02T21:36:23Z2008-11-02T21:36:24ZKateOr is the thurifer the person who wields the thingamajig?

Because this sort of thing is healthy when we are able to laugh at a caricature of ourselves but very unhealthy when we laugh at a caricature of others. I am getting very tired of having my tradition trashed by fellow Christians. I don't go around trashing rabid Evangelicals or hazy Latitudinarians. I have serious issues with both but that's life. We're all in this together and really need to work at exercising Charity.</p>
