Which hymns have been banned?

After today’s ‘BAN YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE HYMN FOR A YEAR’ charity auction, we can announce that the following hymns were successfully banned –

1. Shine, Jesus shine
2. One more step along the world I go
3. All people that on earth do dwell
and – following a fierce bidding war between our two wardens –
4. Amazing Grace!

A brave attempt to ban ‘Immortal, invisible’ was outbid – and so it is saved, as is ‘The Church’s one foundation’ and the tune ‘Blaenwern’.

Thank you to everyone who took part, raising another €100 for the Bishops’ Advent Appeal.

Bishop Michael’s Jubilee Mass

Seven representatives from St Andrew’s Church attended Bishop Michael’s Jubilee Mass at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Bishop Michael preached with verve, humour and wisdom, including some poignant references to his wife, Julia, who sadly could not be with him on this very special day.

 

Anne Lloyd becomes a Chelsea Pensioner

Many congratulations and very best wishes to Anne Lloyd, our former Church Secretary, magazine editor and St Andrew’s stalwart over many years.

At the end of November, Anne moved into her new home – in a very special location – and began her exciting new life as a ‘Chelsea Pensioner’ !

Chelsea Pensioners are famous around the world for their iconic, bright-red long coat uniforms. This scarlet army of around 300 extraordinary men and women are all highly respected veterans.

Chelsea Pensioners are residents at the Royal Hospital Chelsea – a retirement and nursing home for former members of the British Army, located in Chelsea, London.

We wish Anne well in her new adventure and look forward to hearing news of her exploits!
