From the Canons: “while the lectionary is based on the New Revised Standard Version, any version of the Bible which has not been prohibited by lawful authority may again be used.
Currently, no version of the Bible has been prohibited by lawful authority.”

I saw this debated elsewhere recently. I think the answer is it’s a modern innovation… and not universally loved.
There is apparently a Chrism Mass in the 10th century Gregorian Sacramentary, but no mention of renewal of ordination vows. @thurible.net may be able to expand…

This is an observation of the locals, incidentally… not what I’m doing! 🙈😂

Yes, I can imagine this is going to be really useful. Thank you!

This is really useful. Thank you. My diocese doesn’t provide anything like this. It’s reassuring to see the things I’ve been doing seem to be right… I find it really helpful to have a touchstone and a checklist to go back to when things become a bit of a whirlwind.

Wow! Six weeks would be a dream! I have managed 2.5 weeks this time… tho I’m not moving a long way, and I know the city I’m going to, which helps.
I am hoping to prioritise spending good time listening and getting to know people as I begin.

Wonderful. Thank you!
Methodism does this sort of stuff better than the SEC does! 😉

My hand over pack is coming on nicely… I’m kind of surprised no-one has come up with a check list. Does the Methodist Church have one? 🤷♀️

‘Creative ignorance’! I like that!

I can think of a couple of things that I wish I could *undo* from that particular season’s changes… what I might do differently next time is a whole other question!

Also, this was definitely true in Dunbar. But here I had the unusual gift of receiving a building that had been vacant for a year, so changes were quite easy to make.

Ps - I have obvs already given this some thought… but I’m interested in what others might prioritise! 🤷♀️😊

I grew up in the Eastern Scottish Borders. I survived on the shipping forecast on the radio and Look North on the tv… and people wonder why I don’t identify more strongly with Scottish nationalism. 🤦🏼♀️🤷♀️😂

Thank you. You’re right - it’s sometimes wonderful not to have to deal with the mundanities of property as a cleric. But it does bring complications, especially in ministry transitions.

Indeed there is. 🤦🏼♀️
