May the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace, and light perpetual shine upon them.
Dear Friends, Family and Followers of Albion - we are sad to share that he passed in the early hours of the morning.
He departed in his sleep, peacefully (despite some snoring) and most importantly, without pain. He'd be proud knowing he resembled one of his Greek Orthodox icons at the end.
For anyone hoping to make the funeral, this will take place in Albondon on Thursday 17th at 10:00 at the local church, a mix of Orthodox and Catholic service followed by his burial.
We have not decided if we will have a "reception" following this, but will let everyone know if we're up to one last pint (caña) to toast.
Para Los españoles, los que quieran venir a su funeral, será este jueves a las 10:00 en la iglesia de Albondon.
Todavía no sabemos si estaremos con energías para celebrar su vida después - pero les mantendremos informados el día de.
Many thanks/Muchas Gracias♥️
Andrea & Winslow

Albion was a pioneer in the Continuum, setting up this blog back in 2005, just as the business of Gene Robinson was causing much anguish in ECUSA, and this blog has done so much to inform and enthuse members of the Continuum as well as bringing them together.
I will always be grateful to God for Albion on two counts. First, it was me trying to comment here that caused me, somehow inadvertently to set up my own little blog which set me on my own path into the Continuing Anglican movement.
It was also Albion who phoned me out of the blue to say that he was in the UK and could we meet up. He took me to my first High Mass with the Anglican Catholic Church in the UK which I joined four years later after leaving the CofE. I truly think Albion played his part in the saving of my soul and I pray that he may be rewarded in Heaven for it.
He and I shared an ablation with Elmore Abbey which always infirjed Albion's view on life - always passionately compassionate, always furiously humane. I pray that his soul behold the face of God in Eternity.
RIP Albion, gone too soon. Memory eternal!
