Hugs are good. I used to have a (paid) job which involved a lot of hugs from sweet older ladies. I suppose theologically we should be hugging people we dont like though as well as nice sweet people. Incidentally, I am sat at my desk with 2012 calendar showing May. As a non-Anglican I havent a clue what the North Transcept is. But I know what a Narthex is because we have one.
Is a Narthex a type of whale?
As in ‘Jonah in the Narthex?’
Liz – The truth is that I can’t really remember what a north transept is without looking it up each time. Thank you for your enthusiasm for the calendar. I can confirm that May is the most up to date month as we speak.
Just wondering if NSM actually get paid in kind?
Because I was imagining them haggling for a working breakfast, lunch or a 4 course, evening dinner with all of the trimmings!
I can also imagine NSM’s in a Sunday Market vying for trade with competing churches, who are in interregunum or have a casual vacancy due to the Vicar being on holiday or unwell.
Perhaps they deserve another cartoon?
