One response to “Odd”

Re: Odd
Hi,I happened by because I was googling on the word “thurible”. I'm a US Episcopalian, and I'm currently in the Inquiry process about becoming a vocational Deacon… which, as you know, is supposedly a lay ministry.
But I know what you mean… we do a commissioning sort of a thing every year for our vestry and teachers, but it's all ad hoc and out of various slightly suspect books of supplemental rites. It would be niceto have an approved liturgy for blessing a Lay Eucharistic Minister, for example.
If you don't mind, I'll be about again… feel free to look at my blog, http://www.livejournal.com/users/lirazel/.
I'm 50, with a lot of younger friends due to interests in Japanese animation and science fiction and such… so please pardon us of some of the language is even more opaque than is commonly the case when people from the British Isles and Amurrrricans try to understand each other.
Regards (how appropriate for viewing someone's blog!)
Lirazel

Doris Day Day
You will be delighted to hear, gentle reader, that at lunchtime today, the Cathedral Office came to a glorious standstill for a chorus of Que Sera, Sera. This event was of course, to mark Doris Day’s birthday, a feast which is unmoveable, even in Lent. Sing along now. Kudos to Fr Kirstin for alerting us.

You know Elton John? Yes What’s the point? What?!? Well, what is the attraction? It can’t be his music can it? Part of your soul is missing. [The question is, who was speaking to whom?]

Here or there?
Here or there, that is the liturgical question. High altar or altar amongst us? Do you dress the altar you are using, or the altar you used to use? Do you light candles up there or down here? These are not trivial questions and decisions have to be made. Nothing more precisely states the problem…
