Good for you @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
An interregnum can be a very tricky time, I attended a church during one as my usual church took a mentoring role with it whilst they waited for a new vicar to be appointed. They had had the same very high church vicar for many years who was called Father, and there were some very strong characters there who were delighted to be in charge. We had one visiting preacher who taught the children to genuflect and sang a song about it with them which I had never seen in an Anglican Church before.
They appointed a new vicar who came to visit the parish after being appointed and after meeting the congregation he changed his mind! They more or less boasted on the Facebook group that they were Anglo Catholics and nobody was going to change them.
I am not in touch with anyone from there now, but it seems the new vicar has put his foot down and is firmly in charge, the Facebook page now has a disclaimer that it does not represent the church in any way 😬
