Letters to the Editor
From Jackie Brooks
I read with interest, and mounting anger, Geoffrey
Kirk’s article in the January edition of The Portal, and
I must say I was surprised that something so apparently
anti-ordinariate was considered for publication.
I understood we were to bring with us some of
the beauty of the Anglican tradition (PCCs and
churchwardens are something we should have been
pleased to leave behind!) and the new usage seems to
have been carefully put together with that purpose in
mind. I am very glad that at least some of our priests
have carried out the wishes entrusted to us.

It has been a source of mystery to me as to why some
priests have joined the Ordinariate if they are being
nothing other than Catholic priests - what are they
offering or doing that distinguishes them in any way
and is this what the Ordinariate was established to
achieve?

Magazine, 56 Woodlands Farm Road, Pype
Hayes, Birmingham, B24 0PG. Tell us who you
are and where you live. We will allocate you a
mystery.
You pray this
mystery on the
1st day of the
month.
Then
you
proceed
through
the
other mysteries,
in turn, on the
remaining days
of the month.
Just one mystery
a day, and we all start in a different place, so the
whole Rosary is prayed each and every day!
To add to the meaning of this great prayer, we
will send you a list of intentions - just two or three
each day. You offer your mystery for each days’
intention. In this way, every Group will be prayed
for by name every month, as will our Ordinary
and his Assistants.
