Sorry, don't know what came over me. Disgraceful behaviour. Please accept this apology.
What if they are actually covered in Kit-Kats though?

HAPPY NATIONAL TEA DAY
Ah, that's convincing.
Not a mispelling of sati then!
I've been asked about starting a family on a first date.
Widow of a soldier?
Yes, that's the thing some clergy thought was some kind of scam and wouldn't cooperate with during compilation.
The information did sort of exist but was incomplete, inaccessible to some people who did need it, and most importantly, did not record whether they had been defrocked...
They're not allowed to do that any more post-gdpr
The good news is, I know the eccentric American who pulled those lists together and am confident that they are fully reliable.
For current and historic, yes. Also current and historic dioceses.
Until then the main listing was Crockford's Clerical Directory, which was (originally) a commercial project completely unaffiliated to the CofE, depended on people voluntarily responding, and was so inaccurate that it had to contain a symbol for 'this person might be dead but we're not sure'
*a key indicator of professionalisation
Writing re professionalisation in c19th, & whether it happened to clergy
Now having horrid flashbacks to 2012 when CofE finally made a clergy register* partly because the courts didn't believe there wasn't one, but then clergy wouldn't cooperate because they also didn't believe there wasn't one
obviously it should be trend not trajectory
"There has been an almost persistent downward trajectory in ordinand numbers, with only occasional bleps". It's possible I may have not got something quite right in that sentence.
A morning's thinking and planning on paper, about an hour's writing. I was deliberately not connected to the internet for the writing time, so that I would not be distracted.
And then I was clicking undo, because I assumed it was a recent error, and I kept making it worse.
That's actually where the problem came in. I didn't notice I'd deleted stuff, and the new version oversaved the fuller version :(
