But there is a subtle and important difference between the idioms that we have used in the past, and the increasingly normalised use of “pass” and “pass away”. I suspect that it is precisely this ambiguity that is making “pass away” so common. But I want to argue that “pass” and “pass away” should not be the default terms that Christians use. AdvertisementJesus did not pass on the cross; nor did he pass away for our sins. We need to reclaim the language of dying and death.

The piece was by Jack Guinness, whose father was then her vicar: “The Archbishop of Canterbury was my ‘au pair’. She was one of the first people I met, visiting me in hospital on my second day on the planet.

LADY OXFORD* is an unfortunate person. The suggestion that it implies is, of course, that it is only by killing that the killed can properly be remembered — a pagan sentiment, against which Lady Oxford did well to protest. But when she refers to the “hideous and expensive war memorials” in English villages, she is, as is her habit, using the language of absurd and uncontrolled exaggeration. For the greater part, the village war memorials are simple, tasteful, and appropriate, paid for with the pence of the sorrowing bereaved in memory of their beloved dead. *often known as Margot AsquithThe Church Times digital archive is available free to subscribers.

There’s nothing newsworthy about someone from Long Island disliking a progressive policy in New York City. DeBlasio is not former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. Semafor identified the man at the center of the reporting mix-up as a 59-year-old wine importer who had received an email from a Times reporter and decided to respond. I never thought it would make it to print,” he said in an interview conducted via his Ring doorbell in Long Island, saying that he thought the outlet would double-check his identity before publishing. The Times of London later blamed the incident on an “individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor.” But the Long Island DeBlasio disputes that characterization.

Andrew, the scandal-scarred younger brother of King Charles III, will be stripped of his title as prince, an extraordinary punishment — unheard-of in the annals of the modern British royal family — that caps his fall from grace over his ties to the convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. In a statement on Thursday, Buckingham Palace said it had begun a formal process to remove the “style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew.” The prince, it said, “will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,” the family name of members of the House of Windsor. The palace also said that Andrew, 65, would be evicted from his sprawling residence, Royal Lodge, and move to a private house. Andrew has steadfastly denied that he raped the woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. But doubts about his account of his relationship with Mr. Epstein — as well as sordid details of his sexual misconduct in a newly published memoir by Ms. Giuffre — made his position in the royal family increasingly untenable.
