Today is Laetare Sunday, or Refreshment Sunday, where we traditionally relax our Lenten fast for the day. It's also Mothering Sunday.

So I finally finished work on “Commanded by an angel from heaven,” an essay considering the difference between doctrine and practice as discussed by #JonathanSwift in his sermons, with a detour into #EivindBerggrav because, well, why not if one can? It should be appearing later this year or early next. I think there is a lot we still need to understand about practice in the C18 #ChurchofIreland quite apart from doctrine.

#introduction Hello. I am moving from one of the big instances. Currently, I am working on a biography of Nancy Sharp, a C20 English painter, but I am generally still most active writing about #JonathanSwift (one recent talk and an essay forthcoming) and the #ChurchofIreland (not always related to Swift). I also write on occasion about #EssexCricket or #CountyCricket in general. Probably not doing any more translation, but spending more time reading in Norwegian just for the fun of it.

Back in the States to the news that "Commanded by an angel from heaven," an essay of mine about #JonathanSwift, the #ChurchofIreland, and practice versus doctrine will be appearing sometime soon-ish in a #UniversityofDelawarePress publication and that "A cricketing alphabetiary," which is just about what it sounds, but with a focus on #EssexCricket, is forthcoming in the small magazine #CountyCricketMatters [https://www.countycricketmatters.com/], which is most definitely worth subscribing to, by the way.
