My grandfather was in a high church and the vicar said that his name was "Father" . My grandfather said to him "I have one heavenly Father and an earthly father and that is quite enough". I rather like the Russian Batushka - Little Father and the wife is a Matushka. This seems less pretentious to me.

7:00 Jesuits are not suppose to be popes. How convenient that the Jesuits and the RC liberals forgot this rule or custom because they wanted to bring Francis into the papacy and further the corruption. He certainly had done a good job at corruption. He has suppressed the Latin mass and promoted liturgical nonsense. It is all too much. No wonder people are leaving the RC church. These are people who would have been the best of RCs, but they have been driven out....Either to the SSPX or other groups.

11:50 Who is the spooky guy in the background? I do not like this art. I cannot see why people would come to see it.

3:00 Did not St. Thomas actually teach against the immaculate conception? I believe that is one of the biggest embarrassments to RCs today as their number one theologian was actually against the concept of the conception. It was the Franciscans who promoted it, not the Dominicans and eventually the Franciscans got the pope's hear and the idea was proclaimed as a doctrine. I have even heard that the Jesuits had a catechism when they first got back to England that said that the immaculate conception was not a RC concept (it was a way of appealing to the English in the search for new converts) , but when the doctrine was proclaimed, they had to round up all these catechism and burn them in a secret location somewhere in the north. I know that some will say that this is all a legend, but just check out what St. Thomas Aquinas actually says about it. You will be surprised and it is a bit dishonest of Fr. Robinson to pretend otherwise. Typical Jesuit!

Do the two tabs of the rector's cassock signify? Is he low church, broad church or high church? Or possibly it is a military thing?

Can one be a carpenter and a joiner? I think that my grandfather was. My great-grandfather (his father-in-law) was a master stair builder and he considered himself the tops.

Gorgeous. As an American, I've wondered what the word "Sarum" meant. Thanks for clearing that up.

Very interesting. Just love the pulpit.

Great video, the second old pal of mine you’ve interviewed in their church. You may be interested in more on Jimmy Garlick (in technicolour) and a few other London mummies on my KZbin channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOqYXuenp2WqLMsi=y4ihDrgeGByXNscI

A ghost and a coffin. But best of all is you - toned and svelt as you are - trying to squeeze into Jimmy's former home has to be one of the best things I've seen so far this year. Looking forward to the sequel (where you try the coffin for size?)

Great fun! Looking forward to part 2.

As a "Yank" citizen I'm always impressed and sometimes surprised by the Catholicity of even historically broad or even low-church C of E parishes. The vicar here has reference to pilgrimage to Santiago and shell symbols. I suspect that pre-Oxford movement bishops and parishioners would have been less than thrilled by all that.

Brilliant video and church ! Have you considered doing a video at St Magnus the Martyr by London bridge ? It’s a beautiful Wren church which does very elaborate Anglo-Catholic services

Mesmerising 😀 thanks!

That was bot fascinating, instructive and fun. What a team they are.

What a wonderful engineering and craftsmanship. I myself have a few mechanical wrist watches and often times I like to look at the mechanism through glass at the back. Thank you for making this.

OMG! This is good telly! The clock is very interesting but more compelling are these wonderful people who keep it all going. Louise and Sam are fantastic. Surely Sam has a future career in clocks or something equally complicated? What an amazing young man. Thank you Hereticatious

I am reminded of two of my mother's many sayings: (1) "Like watching paint dry", and (2) "Some people would watch a plate of fish and chips". What *I* see is some beautiful engineering, very well-presented, three interesting people, and lots and lots of lovely detail. More please.

Good fun. More is merrier.

interesting, if a little long. Not so much on the architecture, either

Wonderful video, very informative, thank ypu for making it. I will add some books about Sikh culture/religion on my ecumenical library wishlist. Cheers!

Fantastic video Could you please visit St. Magnus the martyr London dock

Considering the large number of Sikhs in the English-speaking world, how is it we do not know more about their faith? Thank you again for this revelation.

Amazing! Thank you so much for this insight into Sikhism about which I know nothing. So informative and such an interesting video.

Would you consider taking a visit to St Cyprian's Clarence Gate? It's got an extraordinary interior and is more of an affirming Anglo-Catholic congregation.

Gravesend used to be a great town

Lovely project but one small correction as Punjab is now not smaller but it certainly was divided between Muslims Punjabi’s and Hindu/Sikh Punjabi’s populations. As, most Punjabi’s are Muslims therefore their side of Punjab is much larger. So, the choices made by community leaders and their British Raj overlords in 1940’s still has echos today sadly.

What an amazing place.

At last! You've got in to a non Christian 'house' . I know a little about Sikhism from ex work colleagues. Looking forward to the next video

Lovely place, huge too! 😄 Looking foward to the next video.

Thanks very much for this visit! I look forward to the net episode.

Can I suggest you visit a wonderful church in Birmingham St Lazars Serbian Orthodox Church one or the UK’s only purpose built Orthodox Church.

Whoah! I just watched to the very end ! Absolutely topping!

So enjoying your work. Keep us informed please! Earnest young Priest. Passing these two on St G’s to others who will enjoy. 😊 Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

5:42 😄 The priest has great humour! 😆

Be great if the Captain converted to Holy Orthodoxy - Liturgy is NOT meant to be plain, simple and short! That's a dreadful protestant 16th century invention. ☦☦☦

Very interesting. Thank you

Thank you, Fr. Captain Tom is a wonderful man and speaks with such commitment and understanding. I cannot imagine to have anyone better than him at your side when in need of spiritual help.More videos of him would be wonderful.

You get to meet all the most interesting people. Several of my prejudices addressed and destroyed.

Please 🙏 visit more High Churches. There are many fascinating ones. Some have closed over the past 50 years, so it’s important that those that remain are visited. I would also recommend visiting the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham (High Church).

Beautiful ! I pray for revival of the Anglo Catholic Church! 🙏

Channel Master forgive a second post, but I just saw a video of His Majesty, the King visiting recently. The Cardinal was there to greet him, as was the pastor. I'm sure it wasn't the Victorian excessive decoration, or even the modernist stunning depiction of the last supper by an Anglican artist, which prompted the Royal visit. It was the works of charity, mercy and Christian assistance documented in YOUR report. Good job channel master. Jesus will not ask us, what encrusted with decoration church building you went to, but what did you do for the least of my brethren? Just for the record, a decent amount of beauty and art is welcome, and the choice is not between Victorian excess and a plain box. There are wonderful middle grounds.

What a refreshing priest, I loved how he just didn't like things. It really made me want to fund raise.

Brilliant video😊 and I used to go to St Giles and do when I can ,Tom is great and so knows the churches history.

2:08 I would have never guessed it. Wow! Can't wait to see the rest of the video. Edit: the ending story was quite something. 😄 Thank you for making this lovely content. 🙂

This priest should be going to Rome ❤

Another fascinating video. Thanks. Great to hear Fr Tom’s insights.

I'm going to launch a subscriber drive just to see you climb right up to the top! 🤣

I mean, I'd have been up all the ladders, given the chance. its a rare opportunity presented to very few, other than those carrying out some kind of maintenance or construction, surely?
