Bottom of the candle - it's wonderfully liberating to be free of all waffly liturgical nonsense! Just stick to gospel and all shall be well.

I'll bet there's a candle on your Meeting's table. No idea what size it is though!

Bottom of the candle - hardly surprising as I didn't know what half the things were. A "boat boy"? Who knew that was a thing?

Top of the flame.
Some of the options weren't quite right. For instance, the real answer to the question "When should you use incense?" is "When shouldn't you?"

So did I - IMHO cassock-albs are only fit for being torn up and used as dusters by the Altar Guild.

Top of the candle for me too, but in honesty I'm probably not quite as spikey as that - we're a bit more middle-of-the-road at our shack. There didn't really seem to be any MOTR answers in the quiz though, so I erred on the side of spikiness. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

The quiz wouldn't give me an answer - it just looped back to the beginning. I think my answers must have been contradictory enough to scramble its algorithm.
I spent enough time with the Anglo-Catholics that I knew what was being talked about, but I don't think I'm A-C at all anymore.

That does be desperately slow. I got as far as Q. 2 before it timed out - may try again tomorrow.

Bottom of the candle. It said 'You have done very badly and would probably be happier with a Worship Leader and bashing a tambourine' - actually, I'd be happier with a tambourine and bashing a worship leader!

Ditto.
(But if I am able to bash the worship leader with the tambourine, can I be allowed to add spikes to it before hand?)

I was upset to get Bottom Of The Candle, so I took the quiz again and didn't choose any of the snarky answers and then got Top Of The Flame. I really don't care for all the pomp and ceremony of a typical Catholic Mass anymore--it was incredibly dull when I was a child and it seems to me to be a waste of time now, but something ingrained in me--some little bit of Catholic pride, I guess, put my nose out of joint that I got Bottom Of The Candle so I went back and re-did the quiz. Hmmph. Guess I'm still Catholic, to some degree. My dear friends, Sister Mary and Sister Karen, Sisters of Providence will be pleased, I suppose. ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

Isn't it just like a man to pull out his..."candle" and compare it to another man's "candle"!

This Presbyterian got "bottom of the candle" which is inaccurate as I don't think there should be any candles.
