Friends of Preludium: I had thought to get back to posting things quickly after Christmas but will need to take a day or two more. Earlier today (Saturday, Dec 27) Anne, my mother, fell and broke her leg. At 90 that's a big deal. So now the focus is not on things out there in Anglican Land, but on the land of Anne, which is sort of like the land of Oz, only without flying monkeys. Anne is teaching our family about getting really old, and doing a fine job of it. If there are any extra prayers around a few for Anne would be appreciated.
