Worth knowing

Ruth Gledhill, religious correspondent of The Times, about Anglican meetings:

Long experience of synod meetings has taught me that evangelicals do the best lunches. The more conservative, the better the food. Enjoyed robust plate of tomato pasta and salad, washed down with pure clean water and followed by tea and strawberry-filled chocolates. Yummee in my tummee! Better than the soggy, limp sandwiches at liberal fringe meetings. The sacramentally strong red wine and cheese at Catholic fringe meetings is of course legendary, but not something I personally am at liberty to partake of.

My evangelical father is fond of quoting a deacon from one of the first churches he served at in Michigan: We met an' et. If we hadn't a' et, we wouldn't a' met."

On the Catholic side, as Belloc put it -

Whenever the Catholic sun doth shine
There's always laughter and good red wine;
At least, I have always found it so -
Benedicamus domino!
