Delightful! I wish my bishop could dance like that!!!! The Anglican Communion would be much better off if we had more dancing bishops.
Don't Catholic bishops from the Global South dance? If not, I'm sure the Anglican bishops could teach them. It might take their minds off Gene Robinson for a while!
By the way, the prelates are dancing to "We Are Marching in the Light of God!" a classic South African freedom song. Here it is sung in a Croatian Catholic Church.
We celebrate South Africa Freedom day in my parish, and the Zulu priest on our parish staff dances beautifully to it during the procession.

Absolutely they do and, on the right occasions (at least in West Africa), you can see the Anglican and RC bishops dance together. I just hope that the Roman bishops turn in the right direction and don't embarrass us. [ 27. May 2008, 00:26: Message edited by: Treatise ]

Did you recognize the particular bishops in the clip? If not, I don't think it's fair to assume they embrace bigoted fundamentalism and homophobia. Despite what folks like ++Akinola claim, many Global South bishops are at least willing to be tolerant of the steps taken in TEC and the Anglican Church of Canada. The Primate of Brazil, for example, is a firm friend of TEC.

Leo - you've been here quite long enough to know that Dead Horses do not belong in Ecclesiantics.
You should also be able to remember that the Ten Commandments are pretty clear that racism is not accepted on the Ship at all. Your comments come very close to judging that all Latin Americans are homophobic based purely upon their ethnicity.
Everybody else, no further derailment of the thread.

My understanding is that they're Detroit's flagship Anglo-Catholic parish, and are 1928 BCP/Anglican Missal in worship practice. The rector is a "Son of the House" and a brother of the SSC. On two Sundays each month they have the "Frankenmass," which I imagine is what is depicted in the video.
Interesting that they skip the second pair of preces. I thought that was a 1979 thing. [ 28. May 2008, 17:31: Message edited by: LQ ]

St John's is a 1928 BCP parish that's being led up the candle by its rector; in recent years things such as Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament have been introduced. Once a month, I believe they have Matins leading into Holy Communion at the main service.
A few bishops ago, they were in a battle with the diocese over use of the 1928 BCP; the current bishop simply requires the parish to use BCP 1979 Rite I, from a prepared and approved booklet, when he visits and during any diocesan events there (I attended a diocesan convention there some years ago).
St John's has apparently grown in membership, finances, and quality of music program in the past several years. It's also become known as the church whose rector is a sort of chaplain to the Detroit Tigers baseball team, whose stadium is nearby. This may be an official chaplain status or not; I'm not sure. They display a large banner sometimes that says, "Pray here for the Tigers."

Looks like Father Z must be trolling the Ship, since he has now zeroed in on the follies of St. Joan.

Closing Hymn of Palm Sunday on Youtube
I can actually see flags at the start of the service. People are waiving around palms, perhaps a few flags don’t clash that bad- maybe not traditional, but not that there's anything wrong with that. I haven’t seen the entire liturgy, so I will not comment about how well they fit in at the end (even if I could see the entire liturgy, that discussion would probably belong in hell anyway). I do have to say that I got a kick out of the limp-wristed kid with the red flag (and by that, I mean the fact that he is letting his wrist do all the swinging, and I sure wouldn’t want him as my doubles partner), and the person with the very loud very upper-Midwestern American voice who must be standing next to the camera or microphone.
I suppose ( very reluctantly) that there might be a tenuous link to the flags in the context of a triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but why does the clergyperson have to hail a cab several times during that hymn????
I just read this, and realize it's more than a month old, but I see that no one has responded and I would like to!
I worship with an ecumenical group that is "low church," and gestures like "hailing a cab" are very common. Though I am somewhat liturgical, I often lift my hand or hands during worship.
That gesture that looks like hailing a cab is saying, "To God be the Glory." It's a gesture of praise, as if acknowledging that God is high in the heavens.
The flags are a relatively new worship tool and I view them as a way of visibly demonstrating the lifting up of prayers and praises. Like all liturgies and customs, it is a way of making worship more concrete to the worshiper. We like those customs (whether flags or high liturgy) because it helps us worship God; God does not need them in order to be worshiped. Even the highest-of-the-high church people acknowledge that.
What I find interesting is how people develop liturgy even though they're trying to be "free-style" in worship. So, our low-church brothers and sisters are, in their own way, almost as liturgical as we liturgical types.

Those St. John's Detroit videos are great. Speaking of how to grow an Anglo-Catholic parish . . . the rector even includes a video of which freeways and exits to take to reach the church.
Kudos both to Father Kelley for his efforts and to the Bishop of Michigan for not stomping on a parish that wants to keep the old Prayer Book.

My own pastor uses all the old circles over the gifts during the offertory. I hadn't realized, until recently, that they aren't called for in the new liturgy.

You're welcome.
While I love to see and hear video and audio files of exquisitely sung Masses and Evensongs, I also love those that show a more typical congregation, perhaps a small one, sing a service robustly if not with perfect vocal technique. This video showed me the prayerful attention the St Julian's congregation pays to the Blessed Sacrament.

I suppose it depends which book one uses for the text of the Divine Praises. The date is what's important, because often it's not a case of getting an "expurgated" version so much as an earlier version.
The original Divine Praises were composed as a reparation against blasphemy by a Jesuit in the late eighteenth century. Pope Pius VII attached an indulgence to them in 1801, then Popes started adding to them:
Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception - Pius IX in 1854 Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart - Leo XIII in 1897 Blessed be St Joseph, her most chaste spouse - Benedict XV in 1921 Blessed be her Glorious Assumption - Pius XII in 1950 Blessed be His Most Precious Blood - John XXIII in 1960 Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete - Paul VI in 1964

Yet, at least in some Anglo-Catholic quarters, it used to be the case that the parts about the Assumption and Immaculate Conception were explicitly deleted because they gave American Episcopalians cases of the vapors. The old St. Augustine's Prayer Book from the 60s, for instance, included the later bit about the Paraclete, but not the earlier Marian bits.

Interestingly, in the Church of My Yoof (somewhere in the middle of the UK) they had Benediction every Sunday outside Lent, and the only bit missing was the Immaculate Conception.

I am not meaning to dispute that various Anglicans are selective in what they include - as I understand it that's the Anglican way! I am trying to point out that the Divine Praises have expanded significantly down the years. In fact, I'm quite surprised that JPII didn't tamper as well. After all, he added mysteries to the rosary, and "Queen of the family" to the Litany of Loreto. What might he have added to the Divine Praises? Answers on a postcard to the CDF!

For what it's worth, I don't recall ever being to a Benediction, Anglican or Catholic, which 'edited'/'used earlier' Divine Praises.

erm, I think not, sorry!
John XXIII had a devotion to the Precious Blood from his childhood, and even wrote an Apostolic Letter about it, Inde a Primis. (Unfortunately it's only in latin and portuguese on the Vatican site).
The great apostle of this devotion was St Gaspar del Bufalo, to whom Papa Giovanni had a great attachment

Although I am happy with the Assumption, I am not sure about the Immaculate Conception. This is true for many Anglicans so many of our churches leave out those statements in the Divine Praises.
