Having yesterday cleared up the unnecessary confusion concerning north and south, a comment made by another fine seeker of the precious infusion which is my unashamedly dogmatic Bible-teaching, raised a further valid point concerning ecclesiastic geography:
“I just think it's a good thing that in Christ there is no East or West, or I'd be really confused.”Now of course this is quite right, and all well and good for Christ, but when it comes to Eucharistic liturgy East and West are extremely important. After all, it’s not Him who becomes the subject of complaints to the Bishop from the Finicky Nit-Pickers Guild (and whether or not you know it, every parish has a branch) when you don’t Celebrate the same way as dear old Father Antediluvian did (who served in the parish for over eighty years, and finally died in the pulpit while half-way through his sermon – an event not noticed for another three Sundays).

Like GAFCON, however it’s all quite simple when you think about it. Churches are laid out along an east-west line, even if east and west are actually in completely different directions. This is especially common in newer parishes where, because the diocese had to pay some developer top-dollar for the land it’s not uncommon to find one’s church constructed on a block originally zoned as a carwash, and since aisles wider than they are long are rarely popular the compass needed a little creative shifting.
