Indeed. And having read the rest of this page, I have to keep reminding myself I'm not a host here. ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif) We even have all of the usual suspects.

Come unarmed, and if you bring any archdeacons, the deal is off.
Ah - But squirrel wouldn't like my church! It'd be too FiF!

I think the whole robes thing is so it doesn't make people who drop in to see what the tourist-attraction-type church does in its services confused.
I think not, because that would be a ridiculous reason. It would be more confusing to enter a church and find the vicar dressed in jeans. I don't mean to imply that I doubt your experiences - I believe you. But as you note yourself, you're self-selecting hard-core evangelical, less liturgical and so on.
a lot of people who drop in to our church are not from the UK so unless they are of an RC or an Orthodox background the robes might not be part of their expectation.
As far as I know they've not robed up regularly since something like the 70s - maybe earlier. I suppose it's as much habit as anything else now.

So nothing's changed then..!!!!

yup - real progress has been made on all fronts.
actually, 103, does your church do the wine before or after the bread - wouldn't the (now famous and increasingly ubiquitous) woman in question have been en route from bread to wine? Usually the bread comes first, doesn't it (unless the servers have got tangled up while serving the musicians which sometimes means Communion for some muzos is occasionally bread only, wine only or wine followed by bread. Keeps it interesting I guess.)

22 pages Jeez. Maybe we should try driving a wooden stake through the heart of this thread. There must be someway to kill it.
Normally if I post on a thread it withers and dies. I'm still trying with this one.

I think it's got beyone the point of being stupid and reached the point of ridiculousness.
maybe we could keep discussing pilfered hosts, 103's enaction of his EM role, robes, insertion of wafers into unlikely female orifices and the like until Pope Benedict XII shuffles off the mortal coil too and a new would-be eBay entrepreneur puts a wafer blessed by the-artist-formerly-known-as-Ratzinger on sale so a new thread is needed.
I think it would make the hell-hosts very happy people ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif) ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)

err... ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) computerly weirdness seems to have made my "edit" go all funny.
Could one of the hell-hosts (who is going to be made so sunny & happy by the eternal life of this thread) maybe un-weird it?

I won't answer any questions about "Bread" and "Wine"
And recieving in one kind only is perfectly fine and is actually prefered by a lot of people (At Weekday Mass I always recieve in one kind only)

I think he's satirising the stereotype of the attitude Anglo-Catholics are supposed to have towards those who use terminology that differs from theirs. If he was in a more serious mood he'd be glad to answer you.

Almost as long as Percington Crescent....!!!
However I don't think 103's church follows the teachings of St.Percy so perhaps best left alone....
I'm still boggling over the need for 6 stations ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) for the distribution of Holy Communion

6 Stations because we're not allowed to rip out those Damn Awful pews and replace them with comfy chairs and we have way too many people attending Sunday Mass!

Nave altar with the relics of St Simion... nice and central.
Excellant!
Banners with texts "Jesus is Lord" and "Alleluia"... put them up either side of the altar! Lovely!

103,I was having a holiday in Bristol this weekend and I went to St.Mary Redcliffe for the Eucharist.It's a big church and it was easily 2/3rds full if not more.They didn't seem to have any problem there - it was distributed kneeling at the high altar.
If there's a problem you'd need to get the wardens to let one line of pews at a time. It's known as crowd control!!!
They could then receive at the communion rail,and you could have one priest and two eucharistic ministers

Wardens are not a good idea, trust me they would not work and they make the service look a little too inpersonal.
And we're trying to move AWAY from old fashioned things like distribution kneeling at the high altar. The only good use for communion rails are to help disabled and elderly people up steps!
6 Eucharist Stations are fine and that is what we do and will do, we're now refining it so that there is no chaos involved as people recieve in exactly the same way.
Kneeling also isn't good because we then wouldn't comply with the Disabled Discriminations Act, the altar rail is at the top of 7 steps around the high altar and there is no ramp.

But (he sputters), I thought you had a Porta-Altar at the crossing! Set up rails there, like this.
(I promise the rector was not sleeping when this picture was taken. He was preparing for after the anthem. We don't have Evensong with choirs from three churches every day.)

*ahem*
It's not an all-or-nothing proposition, young man. You set up a station or two below the steps and have a few people serving at the rail. Some people actually prefer recieving at the rail.
At St. Spike's, we have about five shallow steps (with handrails) between the chancel (with communion rail) and the nave. Most of the elderly are bound and determined to get up the steps to the rails (at which they either kneel or stand, depending on their preference) and at least one usher stands by to assist. A serving team will check and see if anyone is waiting expectantly below the steps. We do actually have a mini-lift that could bring them up, but bringing communion to them is easier.

ONCE upon a time, there was a happy little bulletin board. As the bulletin board grew, it noticed that it needed a place for people to contain their otherwise unacceptable outbursts. This worked well, and everyone was satisfied, except for Pyx_e.
Then one day, 103 tackled some poor little old lady to cram some stale bread product in her mouth. The outrage from this shook the happy little bulletin board, for about a day. Then people commenced babbling inanely about all sorts of really meaningless shyte. This prompted one Host to close the thread, in the interests of tidyness, and finding a way to resist hunting everyone down and killing them with a spoon.
But no. All the Host's colleagues and superiors were startled and aghast at the closure of the thread, just because Hell had been a little slow and lame lately and this thread might be seen as a way to perk things up a bit. So, fine, the damn thing was reopened. Then the fucking piece of shit thread turned into motherfucking blob thread that ate the goddamn bulletin board, with all of the most boring posters eagerly trying to outdo each other with lameness competitions.
SO THERE. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SHIT? NOW WE'VE GOT KRILL-FUCKING ECCLESIANTICS BITCHES MAKING FUN OF US BECAUSE THEY'VE DISCOVERED THEY CAN BE EVEN MORE LAME AND BORING IN HELL THAN ON THEIR OWN DUMBASS BOARD. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?! IS IT?!?! HUH?! YOU FUCKERS!
Anyway, carry on.
