We shared this on our Facebook page the other day but I think it deserves its own post on our site here as it’s so good! Especially useful for anyone planning a sermon for Trinity Sunday.
Who’d be a vicar eh?
Another reason why it’s good to be an Anglican!
Brilliant sketch from Mitchell and Webb. We will be creating an ‘evil vicar’ character as a meme. You can create an Evil Vicar meme here: http://memegenerator.net/Evil-Vicar – please tweet us or send us the link and we’ll add it to the site.
Ok, so this isn’t Anglican but an ‘interesting’ take on women’s ordination from some Roman Catholics. I found it more cringy than helpful, I think, but it’s growing on me! For those of you not ‘down with the kids’ it’s a spoof take on the original song by Carly Rae Jepsen – Call me Maybe.
All for a good cause (in our opinion): www.womensordination.org
The lyrics are as follows:
“Ordain a Lady”
I had a dream as a girl
Like Therese of Lisieux
I need to give this whirl
So I can lead the wayWoman priest is my call
Women preaching for all
Don’t listen to St. Paul
‘Cuz I can lead the wayMy ministry is growing
Excommunication? I’m still glowing.
M.Div, chasuble flowing
Where you think the Church is going?Hey, I was baptized, and this is crazy,
But God just called me, so ordain a lady!
Justice doesn’t look right, with only male priests,
But God just called me, so ordain a lady!Hey, I was baptized, and this is crazy,
But God just called me, so ordain a lady!
All the other Churches, try to schmooze me,
But I’m a Catholic, so ordain a lady!My call is a fact, but some Pope in a hat,
Closed discussion on that, and now he’s in my way
I pray, sing, and feel
At first communion it’s real
I but I refuse to kneel,
To Patriarchy’s wayMy ministry is growing
Excommunication? I’m still glowing.
M.Div, chasuble flowing
Where you think the Church going?Hey, I was baptized, and this is crazy,
But God just called me, so ordain a lady!

But God just called me, so ordain a lady!
All the other Churches, try to schmooze me,
But I’m a Catholic, so ordain a lady!With women priests in my life, I was so glad
I missed them so bad, I missed them so, so bad
With women priests in my life, I was so glad
We want our Church back, we want it all, all backJustice doesn’t look right with only male priests
