I thought that was very interesting and rather ingenius, myself! I never would have thought of that.<BR/><BR/>In the APA clergy are permitted to dispense with the "decalogue at least once a month" rubric. At St. Mark's we say it once a month. At St. Alban's we didn't say it at all. The tradition of chanting it during the first Sunday of Lent is quite nice when it is done well.J.

As more people come from ECUSA into the Continuum I predict this will be the trend, because those orthodox in ECUSA may have been used to a "broader" manner of churchmanship than simply the use of the Missal or the plain Prayer Book Presbyterian manner of things. They'll most likely expect and then desire "Prayer Book Catholicism" in the historic Anglican Way.<BR/><BR/>In the past I've attended Mass regularly at a couple of ACA and APCK parishes and never heard the Decalogue said. To never say it seems to go against the rubrics (as Fr. McGrath points out); they are still supposed to hold the same weight as canon law. <BR/><BR/>I agree wholeheartedly with Fr. McGrath's admonition:<BR/><BR/>"In the American Prayer Book of 1928, the rubrics allow for the Summary of the Law (“Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith…”) together with a 3-fold ‘Kyrie’, to take the place of The Decalogue, PROVIDED that The Decalogue still be read one Sunday in each month. Happy is that parish which heeds the wisdom of the fathers of our Church, and thus benefits from the use of The Decalogue. A parish which regularly hears and prays The Decalogue will no doubt be well-formed in biblical/catholic morality, and will be equipped to Love God and to Love Their Neighbor."Rev.
