Well, the bleeding door being shut when you turn up slightly late for a Lent group is one! (The Church of Scotland welcomes you - as long as it doesn't increase the Insurance premium!)
Another is ecumenical services - now, I am a highly committed ecumenist BUT!!! This is the 4th boring godly drivel session I have attended recently and I am getting fed up with it. Hymns no one knew, tunes no one could sing, execution of the service best described as LBA (Led By Amatuers). I am somewhat inclined to opt out of Holy Week this year, as it is joint and the local standard is dire!!
And finally - the provincial Committee on Canons having the gall to send an imperfectly drafted 2nd reading to Diocesan Synods. Edinburgh amended it back to the original text - boys and girls, do us the courtesy of drafting the stuff properly, or not presenting it until it has been drafted properly. Send us drool, and we'll vote it down!
