I was there, Peter, and I thought it was a grand do.  I'm glad I kept my coat on because it felt like a gathering of God's frozen people!  I thought ABC Rowan's sermon was excellent and the service was very well put together.  The choir were outstanding as usual, though I was disappointed by the Anglicized varnish put over Thuma Mina.

Some will ask what difference it will make.  I suppose it's like the Anglican-Methodist Covenant: it's all down to what people make of it locally.  It's permissive, not prescriptive.

So a formal repeal of the Acts of Uniformity, or their replacement by an Act of Diversity, would have been nice, as would a ceremonial burning of the order of Ejectment but this was a good alternative.
