I understand the Anglo-Catholic contribution, and the distinct Anglican faith of Protestantism.<br /> However the former is traitorous, and the latter wondering... Although i do not shun the eccentric Anglican tradition that is largely found in the high church. <br /> Is it clearly your call for a fantasized Catholicism --and the Anglo-Catholics move to such an Ecumenism with Rome-- that should be shunned.<br /> I do not adore a dangling in agony Lord, as a matter of principle. I would rather see a cross without a corpus...or a risen Christ.

On the matter of vestments 1662 and the classic prayer books beginning with that of 1559 require both that the church and its furniture look as they did before the first prayer book was issued but also that the ministers were the ancient vestments associated with the same. We should all do the same. The vesture at an ordination I recently attended was all modern Roman and horribly ugly with the exception of one priest who was wearing a Wareham Guild surplice he had purchased in seminary. The rest were all in "cassock-alb" and very wide stoles.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I believe that a true prayer book parish should have both daily morning and evening pryaer with the former always preceding the eucharist when the Anglican calendar, prayer book propers and the rubrics indicate it should be celebrated. This is the pre-Reformation pattern as indicated by the passage in The Vision of Piers the Plowman,<BR/>"Lewed men to labour, lords to hunt, And on Sundays to cease, God's service to hear, Both mattens and mass . . . .And after meat, evensong in church every man ought. . . ." Whether the service is simple or sung, it should be recognizeably Anglican. <BR/><BR/>And, by the way, what has happened to The Patristic Anglican. I miss it terribly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191589.post-1167771681657078672007-01-02T13:01:00.000-08:002007-01-02T13:01:00.000-08:00It is a Catholic parish in the Anglican Way if it ...<I>It is a Catholic parish in the Anglican Way if it keeps the Lord’s Day as the Church Catholic has always done from ancient times, with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, in which we receive the Body and Blood of Christ with and under the signs of Bread and Wine.</I><BR/><BR/>I think that it is also important to ask whether Christ's people are returning in the afternoon or evening to further sanctify the Lord's Day with Evensong or Evening Prayer, as is taught both in the Prayer Book, and in the disciplines of the undivided Church? Or are they forsaking Divine Service in order to watch football or go to the mall? It seems that the latter is more generally true, at least in my experience.<BR/><BR/>I am also a little surprised by the claim in the comments box that there was no free-standing statuary in the West prior to 1054.

In the East the BVM is never shown without the Christ Child in order to emphasize the importance of the Incarnation. Too often in the West she is alone and presented as the focus of attention. An Our Lady of Walsingham statue (or icon) would be more appropriate than the white and blue Virgin statue seen in many churches. <BR/><BR/>AC+Rev.
