My mother has been promoted from vicar to arch-deacon. I had to look up exactly what an arch-deacon does (apparently they are in charge of temporal and other affairs in the diocese, and have special powers designated from the bishop), but I figure any job title with the word 'arch' in it has got to be cool.
I wonder if it means she is also the arch-nemesis of somebody?
Anyways, well done my mum.

Rich i had no idea your mum was a vicar - you learn something new everyday hey? well done to her for the 'promotion'! pip
i had no idea either!
archdeacon's have a special place in my heart as i handily filled quite a lot of a selection conference inteview by getting the interviewer to explain to me what exactly an archdeacon does... a very handy interview technique - get them to talk, and then they think you know stuff! what i do remember from his explanation is that the archdeacon is the arch/bishop's hench'man'... whatever that means...
Bishop's henchman? We like that. My mum, the enforcer of Whanganui. Move over the Hells Angels.
well as the archdeacon I have to pas a comment, and I still don't know what they do - tell you next wek when it happens
mum
