Eternally grateful to @revrachelmann.bsky.social for introducing me to the formulation of the work of a priest as being "to teach people to pray and prepare them for their death." It has been very much that sort of a day in the parish today, and it really helps to know how to name it.
Waiting to cross the road.
A white van pulls up at the traffic lights.
The window winds down.
A man leans out and yells:
"Alreet, Father pet. Canny Christening yesterday, like."

Possibly my favourite example yet of the "clerical title + Geordie endearment" phenomenon. #TinyJoys
