All Saints in Zion Road

A word of thanks and appreciation to the Church of Ireland community in Zion Road, in Dublin's Rathgar, who invited me to attend and preach at thier Holy Communion service yesterday, which was All Saints' Sunday.

It was also the 156th anniversary of the consecration of the church, which took place in 1861.

A lovely experience, and I received a warm and friendly welcome, even invited back.

Well done.

My cousin was doing this when he was a Parish Priest in a Dublin suburb years ago. Got complained to the Bishop at the time.

The shame of it was that he got a better reception in the Protestant church than did the Protestant Rector in his. Says a lot about the intimidating ethos in the Roman Catholic church.
