Oremus pro Antistite nostro Alexandro. Stet et pascat in fortitudine tua, Domine, in sublimitate nominis tui.
(Let us pray for our Bishop Alexander. May he stand firm and shepherd his flock by Your strength, O Lord, in the majesty of Your name.)
Now Father, if you are going to be spending more time here in the US (good for you, by the way!) you will have to be ‘converted’ to the American Way of Spelling. Now we know that conversion is difficult, entailing the letting go of old convictions (such as: “The OED is right and Websters is wrong…”), but with perseverance some ‘success’ can be achieved.
In my younger days spelling was never a problem. After 40 years here my abecedarian abilities have been alarmingly atrophied…
NOT humour?? its brilliant!!
