Cranmer Trivia -- Last night I was speaking with the beloved Father Richard L. Jones, Vicar of The Uprising ~ Ancient-Modern Church, about the Oxford Martyrs. Somehow it got me thinking of Thomas Cranmers famous long white beard. Although many people think that he grew his beard in mourning for King Henry VIII due to the common apocryphal story, His Grace actually chose his new fashion statement as a sign of his staunch Protestantism. Once Henry died, there was a lot of beard growing going on among Englands clergy!
