Only we were a little closer to The Alcuin Club's Directory of Ceremonial. <BR/><BR/>Two things. One, disobedience of the Church;'s stated directions is always 'low church' even if the intention is to be higher than the Almighty. Ritual Notes in particular is low church however high those using it think they are.<BR/><BR/>Two, one of the fatal flaws of the auther of this tract shows when he gives the Roman and then the Sarum directions for cleansing the vessels and then tells us that one he has invented is the best. The Use of Sarum was the most prestigious in England and even extended to churches in Spain and Portugal. All other English uses were abolished in 1541 in favour of it alone. It is what most English priests would have used in interpreting the new prayer book and we know from the complaints of the men who favoured Zurich and Geneva that this was precisely what they did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191589.post-81258992144962998292007-08-12T20:35:00.000-07:002007-08-12T20:35:00.000-07:00Yes. . .it does make it sound as if the server is ...Yes. . .it does make it sound as if the server is instructed to cannibalize the priest's fingers.

It is a nice distillation of the Dearmer/Staley recommendations for ceremonial following the customs of the English Church. Sadly, the Anglican Society has devolved from being a society that promotes Catholic doctrine and practice into a society that promotes. . .well. . .other things, per the worst kind of ECUSA taint. However, that should not stop us from emulating the original Catholic goals of the group. <BR/><BR/>AC+Rev.

After all, that is my patrimony and authentic "ethnos."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29191589.post-15312442542022203102007-08-11T03:32:00.000-07:002007-08-11T03:32:00.000-07:00Thanks DH, for a very practical and informative po...Thanks DH, for a very practical and informative post. I wanted a little background, so I did a quick google search on the author, and I'm assuming you found this on the Anglican Society site. Other than that, I got nothing. Do you know anything about Fr. Blake? I understand the Anglican Society was like a clergy guild for English-use, Parson's Handbook readers. And this was their liturgical crib sheet. Have I got the context correct?Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00313980137478569526noreply@blogger.com
