Anglican churches/ crucifixes

I spoke to a Hugh church priest who’d been instructed by another to make sure that,as he was celebrating at an evangelical parish, that he was to have all the left over consecrated bread and wine to himself, because apparently they were . in the habit of putting it back in the bottle.

Shame on them.

Indeed, shame on them. Added to which they are totally ignoring the rubrics of the official formularies of the Church of England. Both the BCP 1662 and CW2000 say that any consecrated bread and wine must be reverently consumed. (According to the BCP 1662 the Curate may have use of any UNconsecrated bread and wine).

OraLabora. we’re peculiar Anglicans here in Cornwall. Cornwall is known as the Land of Saints as we have a proliferation of Celtic Saints who were busily traveling between Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany spreading the Gospel in the 5th and 6th centuries. The Patron Saints of Cornwall are St Petroc, St Pyran and St Michael the Archangel. As Anglicans in Cornwall we honour the Celtic Saints and use a Celtic Sanctorale in our Diocese.

The Celtic Church in Cornwall did not conform to the outcome of the Synod of Whitby of 664 but carried on with its Celtic traditions rather than adopting Roman custom. Apart from a brief period in the 9th century when the Cornish Bishop Kenstec acknowledged the authority of Ceolnoth, Archbishop of Canterbury, 833-870, it wasn’t until 930 that the English King Athelstan conquered the Cornish and brought the remnants of the Kingdom of Dumnonia under English control. The Celtic Church in Cornwall then became remodeled on Saxon/English lines. Foreshadowing the later dissolution of monasteries under Henry VIII, many celtic monastic houses were dissolved although some were reconstituted as collegiate churches as at St Michael’s Mount and St Buryan in west Cornwall. In the heyday of Cornish Celtic monasticism there were somewhere in the region of 100 monastic foundations and we still see evidence of this in Cornish place names beginning with Lan, signifying a monastic enclosure.

Anyway, as Anglicans in Cornwall we have:

reliquaries - reliquary of St Petroc, St Petroc’s Church, Bodmin

altar tombs - altar tomb of St Endelienta, St Endellion

ancient stone altars above holy wells - St Clether’s Holy Well

and crucifixes - St Petroc’s Church, Padstow. This Anglican building is shared with the local Roman Catholic congregation due to issues with the Catholic building. There is a formal church sharing agreement between the Anglican Diocese of Truro and the RC Diocese of Plymouth.

Symphorian, thanks for this brief history lesson! Fascinating!

Cornwall is one of my Favourite Places on Earth. My wife and I holidayed there last May; we had last been in 1985. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Those pics of St. Senara’s were taken by me on a seacoast walk we did that started in Zennor:

Yep. Same with the US 1928 BCP.

Nice pics OraLabora. I always think that West Cornwall is very dramatic with its rugged coastline and squat granite churches. Senara is used as a girl’s name in these parts which I rather like.
