Yesterday I received a letter from the Acting Bishop of Chelmsford (Dr Laurie Green, Bishop of Bradwell) wishing me a Happy Easter. As Easter is now two weeks past and today we kept the Third Sunday of Easter, I though the letter must have been held up in the post – not an unknown phenomenon – but I was wrong. I gather Father Martin also received the letter at much the same time. I couldn’t help thinking it would have been rather more appropriate to have received it at Easter rather than two weeks later.
Ah, but Bishop Lauire, unlike the BCP, is very moderne, and considers Easter fifty days long... so, if I am not too late,Happy Easter; and if I am, Happy Christmas a bit in advance. +E
