Primate Fred Hiltz on Dung Duty

There is a rich satirical vein begging to be explored here, but current litigious exigencies prevent my going further than letting it speak for itself.

Fred-DungThe Anglican Church of Canada has published a new calendar:

The calendar also features “Aldo’s friends,” including Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. The month of May has Hiltz performing  “dung duty” with the Rev. Cynthia Patterson, co-ordinator of the national church’s suicide prevention program and the wife of Dennis Drainville, bishop of Quebec.

Drainville himself is the calendar subject for November, along with Aldo and his goat companion, Alli.

The only thing preventing the donkey and goat being ordained is fear of the stiff competition their theological insights would present to existing clergy.

  1. Much as I disagree with most of contemporary Anglicanism, I’ve got to give credit to Archbp. Hiltz. Donkeys really enrich one’s life, as my family has discovered since we became ‘owners’ and companions to two mammoth jacks a number of years ago. They also enrich our gardens with their deposits!
