What breaks the illusion is that every time I've visited a woman has been celebrating the Eucharist, as though to put a thumb into the eye of everyone who may not have signed on to the new agenda. I've told some people that if I ever make it back to D.C. I will smuggle in a chalice, paten, bread and wine, and a 1662 or 1928 a start celebrating in one of the side chapels. I've found that there is no person less welcome in an Episcopal church (unless its part of the Network or FiF) than a former member of the Episcopal Church.<BR/><BR/>AC+Rev.

In fact, I didn't know they were there. But seeing as how I live two blocks away I will definitely have to go check it out soon!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707206974769671189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063618497237342315.post-65191646072945268472007-09-07T19:54:00.000-07:002007-09-07T19:54:00.000-07:00I love both those cathedrals too, Father.

(probably not)<BR/><BR/>The crypt museum also has the chalice and paten used at the Third Plenary Council - very beautiful! Go cehck it out. I tried to take a picture of it, but it's in a glass case and the flash reflected off of it and ruined the photo!J.

I believe the image of the episcopal consecration is that of Bishop Samuel Seabury at the hands of the Scottish hierarchy, 14 November 1784, which gave rise to the American Episcopate and the Anglican Communion. The eighteenth century dress portrayed in the carving suggests the possibility, but I am only guessing.<BR/><BR/>God bless you!The Most Reverend Chandler Holder Jones, SSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597996290993316169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063618497237342315.post-81738402792508267212007-09-03T19:28:00.000-07:002007-09-03T19:28:00.000-07:00Those vestments are great.
