What happens with the vow of celibacy? Are they exempted?
Yes I describe mine in the same way rather than traditional Catholic blog.
It would be interesting to know how many C of E clergy have swum the Tiber since, say, the Lambeth Conference last Summer. Does anyone know?
I had expected that there would be many, in view of the turmoil in the Anglican Communion.
Antonio - they are not required to take a vow of celibacy.
Congratulations to Jeffrey Steel and his family, London is a great place to move to :-)
Our Lady of the Assumption is the Roman Catholic Church in poor Deptford where I was born.
In the 1987/88 football season I was working as a site agent in Albury Street,Deptford SE8.This early Thames Gateway regeneration project involving English Heritage and the Church of England's Guardian of Walsingham,the late Canon David Diamond of St Paul's SE8,stimulated my creative and artistic talents.
Midway through the underpinning and demolition contract that I was supervising for PGM developments I had a big dream in which Our Lady of the Assumption called me "Vesper ".
I have used this nom de plume ever since.
It is fair to say that I do not see eye to eye with the Mayor of Lewisham's contemporary Faith Adviser Father Paul Butler of St Paul's SE8 who wrote 'Also, for the record, I am in favour of the Ordination of the Women'.
Canon David Diamond was old school Oxford Movement who didnot support the Ordination of Women.
When I converted to Rome,Father Diamond gave me a giant Rosary which I gave to Father Tony Pyle at Our Lady of the Rosary Blacken.
SONGS & DREAMS FOR SAD SISTER DEPTFORD A Deo et Rege : PART1
Spiral into the deep unconscious
Spiral into eternity
Mary Queen of living waters
Seep ever deeper into me
Round and round that mystic whirlpool
Round and round eternal sea
Mary conquer those depths uncharted
Mary conquer the inner me
Christ first man of composite nature
Christ the sacrifice to free
Mary Mother of our Creator
Accept this sacrifice of me
In XtO "Vesper"
Canon David Diamond once thanked me for my qualified professional Planning & Development work in relation to the CRITICAL Deptford Power Station & Creekside planning brief.
Addey & Stanhope's Steve Pratt can confirm that Canon Diamond also used my poetry to invite HRH the Prince of Wales to the opening of St Paul's Court in the 1987/88 football season.

SE8 MATE
DIRTY SMELLY DEPTFORD
HOW WE LOVE YOU SO
THE POWER THAT ONCE CAME FROM YOU
HAS LONG CEASED TO FLOW
ARCHER'S DREAM NO LONGER DWARFED

A FUTURE KING FINDS HIS LAND
AND PLACE IN HISTORY
Canon Diamond and I are both recorded as being professional contributors to the Civic Trust report which preceded Deptford City Challenge.
Father Butler criticises and censures my intellectual input to the Nth degree which effectively buries alive my Deptford orientated Thames Gateway consultancy.
The hermeneutic of continuity recently published an update of my professional work which has now reached a critical legal juncture here in London : vesper has left a new comment on the post "Mass at St Peter's".
Hard evidence relating to my high profile FARE JUSTICE NOT VENGEANCE FOCUS 1991-2009 :MPS ref PC/2571/07 case for the defence against SS 33 The Watcher's NF/BNP/KKK entry-ism into London's Sporting/Planning Arena,which was originally backed up by a malevolent prosecution by CID Greenwich after a phone call made by Steve Taylor of the TSG, was given to former MPS Assistant Commissioner Robert Quick MBA by DS Ian Coleman of the MPS Directorate of Professional Standards,Internal Investigations Command.

I'm impressed by the integrity shown by Jeffery in his conversion story, and I find myself thinking how fortunate he is that things became so clear to him.
Very exciting reading this! Amazing. Thanks for posting Fr. Tim.
Beautiful! As the son of an English Catholic, I am very glad to see this. I will keep you in my prayers

Thank you for keeping English Catholics, De Cura Animarum (About the Cure of Souls), and The hermeneutic of continuity in your prayers.
Father Finigan is the RC Dean of Bexley, and the Olympic Flame will stay overnight here in Bexley on Sunday 22nd July 2012.
Tomorrow President Barack Obama will arrive in London.
Unlike the Conservative PM, David Cameron, I donot beleve England is the junior partner to the U$A, and I said exactly that to John Berylson Millwall FC's American Chairman at last season's EGM when his actions made my FOOTBALL AGAINST RACISM in EUROPE solo share 'worthless'.
I sent this text to BBC Radio London 94.9 this morning LONDON : ANCELLOTTI SACKED YESTERDAY Chelsea's Roman Abramovitch showed Arsenal's American owner Stan Kroenke how to deal with a manager who doesn't win trophies. WELL DONE LONDON FOOTBALL for setting the scene for President Obama's State visit & for proving that David Cameron was wrong & that Britain is not the U$A's junior partner. MILLWALL'S VESPER
