• The Hegemony Asserts Itself

    Every day, the straight heterosexist hegemony manages to find new ways to assert its dominance over all who do not share its presumptions.

    Today, hangers on the back of an hotel room door.

    Every day something different.

    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

  • Corpus

    We are celebrating Corpus Christi on Thursday and it will be the first time we’ve celebrated it with a Choral Eucharist in a long time. I noticed about a year ago that we were doing better at keeping the more introspective and gloomy feasts than the glorious. We were doing well at repenting of our…

    Anyone else think that last night’s documentary on reliquaries, though glorious, was no substitute for Glee on a Monday evening?

  • Evensong (with Dragons)

    Quite an exhilarating Choral Evensong last night. Three ribbons to give out to young choristers to indicate their achievements and then straight into an exciting musical service. The psalm was 148, which is one of my favourites, particularly in the setting that they sing here. In common with very many choral churches, we usually sing…
