Who’s Anna?

In many ways the church I go to is great. However, having spent many happy years in a High Anglican Community prior to moving to Bristol and joining a local independent church, I do miss the liturgy and theater of those ‘High’ days, especially around the major Christian festivals. No processions or palm waving for us, just a brief acknowledgment of Palm Sunday shoehorned into a talk about Daniel in the lion’s den – sounds odd, but actually it did work.

Anyway, my daughter is now of the age were she can take part in the children’s activities on a Sunday morning, so I thought I’d ask her if she had a story about Jesus riding on a donkey and people waving palm branches. ‘No’, she said. ‘We had a snack and I did some sticking.’
