Wow! Welcome to the U.S.A. It is very sad to see all that is happening in the U.K. But we are glad to have you here.

Dear Calvin, I'm writing from England and sadly you are correct. England is lost. Delighted to see that you have found somewhere you are needed and welcomed. We'll miss you over here but will continue to follow you on your various channels. On an entirely different slant... can I recommend a film for you to watch? It's on YouTube (free with ads) and Amazon (rental). It's from 2002 and is called "Time Changer". Don't be put off by the apparent sci-fi element. It's a Christian film. It's about a Christian man from 1890 transported to 2002. He learns that we can't separate Goodness from Jesus - i. e. Secularism doesn't work. A made for TV movie but it really punches home the message thanks to the fine performance by the central character. And it has a subtle but shocking twist at the end. Enjoy.

I echo these sentiments too Calvin. I wish you every single success and I can’t think of a better way than god’s way for you to inspire and bring hope and goodness to your new flock and the rest of the world as we watch on.

A super recommendation in the film, I shall watch it too. 👍 🙏

Religion is vital for capitalism, though those most fortunate only ever pretend with it. Communism is the only answer and is a breath of fresh air

And so many so-called shepherds fleeing the scene…I’m so sorry. But Christ is still among the broken-hearted. Love and blessings from Australia.

Hard to shepherd if they've taken your head, as they've announced they will do.:(

They said something similar about Jesus, too. I’d say it’s impossible to shepherd if you desert the flock when the going gets tough. Is that really following in the footsteps of Christ?

Please pray for us who still stay and minister in this great country. The fight is not lost till the last one of us is still standing.

Father Calvin, these photos are heart-warming, the ceremony must have been very meaningful to you all. I’m glad to see there is a whisper of hope you might return, in time, to the UK and Ireland. Jim and are in London and attended the Family Education Trust annual conference, there is still some ‘fight’ left here! In fact it was something of a buzz-word this year and on the way back to our hotel we saw a gleaming black car with the word ‘FIGHT’ as a number plate…..I’m taking that as a message!

Don’t forget us…….

Mary and Jim, Northern Ireland.

Welcome to the Great Lakes State, or the Wolverine state (go BLUE). We are so happy to have you. I was born and raised in metro Detroit but recently moved to north west Michigan. Will be making the trip to your parish. If you ever find yourself in Manistee, give me a shout, would love to have you for dinner!

Sad to hear your thoughts on demise of the UK.. I believe that people here are slowly turning toward Christianity trying to make sense of the madness.

Having said that I wish I was making my way to America, home of the brave and the free, as they say

Good fortune to you and your community

Best wishes, Linda

So glad Fr Calvin has found a lovely place to be.

London is tough. It always was. Don’t give up on us Brits. We haven’t found a peaceful way to exert ourselves yet. It will come. Europe seems to be recovering itself in various places.

Sweden is progressing with a move to recovery of its Christian European values, Holland has Geert Wilders at last, Hungary still has Orban, Poland is standing stoutly by its Christian heritage, Marin Le Pen is gaining ground in France, Germany has taken a swing to the Right and thrown off its deluded idealism. The Schengen agreement is failing and falling to bits. We are changing bit by bit by the direction of the tide is clear.

I agree we need a written constitution! Relying on the King was always unreliable. The experience of the appalling Two-tier Keir and Lady Victoria Sponger has turned most people off Labour for a generation. Don’t write us off though. Our tolerance is overstretched but we still have the same values and sense of humour. We don’t all have the option of West Michigan but wish Fr Calvin every happiness there.

And don't forget Denmark. Even their left wing Govt seems to have found some sense and is trying to reduce the invaders and keep Denmark for the Danes.

I can but hope that you are right but I do not see us winning without a fight. When we do I think, ironically, we shall probably get more support from the Hindhus, Sikhs and other normal immigrants than we shall from many of the native Brits who are too blind of the evils that are coming. Our traitors have not only opened the gates but are urging the invaders to hurry up.
