Miriam Byrne

Miriam Alexandra Frances Byrne is a priest of the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC).

A former Roman Catholic nun, she was ordained in 1994 and was Priest in charge of St Augustine, Dumbarton[1] before becoming the Provost of St Paul’s Cathedral, Dundee in the Diocese of Brechin; and thus the most senior female cleric in the SEC. She was suspended in 2000 over disputed liturgical decisions and administrative style but reinstated by the college of bishops and cleared of all charges.[2] She successfully continued her ministry and established a thriving congregation. She also reinvigorated the cathedral finances with diverse business practices including the establishment of a successful day nursery.

In April 2006, she announced her resignation as provost and moved to France.[3]

gollark: I don't see why you would want to stuff your entire request body in headers when there's a perfectly good request body system.
gollark: Primarily that some things won't be happy with it because nobody does it. Other than that:- servers may allocate limited-sized buffers for incoming request headers so you can't put too much in them (this is somewhat problematic for cookies)- headers have character set limits while bodies can be arbitrary bytes- request bodies are generated by forms and all sane clients so stuff is mostly designed to deal with those- request bodies can probably be handled more performantly because of stuff like the length field on them
gollark: In HTTP, you mean?
gollark: For some arbitrary reason I forgot.
