Prudence

Ms Prudence Dailey (dwell on that name) is not surprisingly a guardian of tradition within the religious community and is the Chair of the Prayer Book Society. Today the Times reported her spat with Letts, the diary producers, who have printed 2010 diaries without the traditional Latin names for the days leading up to Lent. For instance they would normally have printed the Sunday before Ash Wednesday as Quinquegessima.
Prudence Dailey, from Oxford as one would expect, has a nice turn of metaphor when aroused by various assaults on religious tradition. When speaking, passionately back in 2008, about the possible schism in the Anglican Church over women priests she said , "..the ladder that women were attempting to climb was about to smash down through the Church's stained glass ceiling”. I dare say Pru that a man is footing the ladder but I am very charmed by your peculiar Englishness, eccentricity and delightful name which must, in itself, be a reference for us all in our daily lives.
