Once we start asking questions like 'does anyone believe this tripe ?' it is not long till we start
asking 'is Christianity itself not a load of tripe?'

Like everything else in Christian prayer history it is a product of its time and has to be explained, if used in the public prayer of the Church.

A fair point, Forthview, and I apologise if my intemperate remark caused offence.

Having said that, I do sometimes wonder at the apparent absurdity and impossibility of the things we Christians are expected (if that's the right word) to believe in!

Well, the grammar has definitely been re-jigged in translation.

Te Deum (both accusative) laudamus (1st person plural present active indicative)

The 1928 BCP has "We praise thee, O God." The "O" is an addition not present in the Latin, but it makes the sentence flow a bit better and doesn't obscure the meaning.

The 1979 BCP has "You are God; we praise You." To be fair, it's not miles from the sense of the Latin, but neither is it an especially faithful translation. It's a bit like changing the Collect for Advent II from "BLESSED Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning" to "Lord, you inspired Holy Scripture to teach us" (this sort of change was rampant in the ICEL translations of the Roman Rite). Quite what motivated this, apart from an allergy to appositives, I'm not sure, but to my ear it was one of the ugliest tendencies of mod-lang liturgy.

Spot on, Father! In addition to the aforementioned appositive allergy, I think that the ICEL and other translations of the period were very strongly influenced by (what were perceived to be) ecumenical concerns. The mindset seemed to be to avoid the use of ecclesiastical-sounding terminology (blessed, paschal, creed, collect, oblation, etc.), as well as verbiage that implied a vertical relationship between the transcendent God (hallowed, omnipotent, hallow, throne, dominion, hosts, precious, everlasting, etc.) and his dependent, sinful creatures (miserable, unworthy, reckless, wandering, wretched) who need to defer to Him (supplicate, beseech, vouchsafe, humbly, sanctify, pour forth, deign, etc.). The watering down of these elements, which I believe was an attempt to attract other Christians to Catholic liturgy, was not only a miserable failure in every regard, but approaches something that might need to be answered for before the Throne of Grace (all punny language intended.), because of its obfuscatory intent.

I'm just looking at Evangelical Lutheran Worship and I note that the translation of the Collect for Purity, while in contemporary language, retains the appositive where the BAS shifts it to " ... to you all hearts are open."

On a perhaps not complete tangent, I've also noticed the tendency of newer propers to drop "the same" when Christ is already mentioned in a collect. So I end up getting a feeling of déja vu when we get to " ... through Jesus Christ our Lord", as if this is the first we're hearing of him, à la Bob Dole in The Simpsons.

If it's anything like the compilers of the NZPB/HKMOA (NZ Anglican) few studied poetics at any serious level, or learned the importance of the ear in "digesting" spoken word. There's some dreadful clunky moments that are all but sufficient to send me to the arms of the Trappists.

I’m sure this has been answered here before, but I don’t find it.

We sit for the Psalm at mass. We stand for a canticle at the office. Do you also sit for a canticle if it’s used as a response to the Old Testament lesson at mass? It seems like you should, but there is always somebody who stands.

Since they only come a couple of times a year, I like to get people to stand. But in my congo, many don't stand for the Gospel. Either from age, stubbornness, being from a denomination where this is unheard of, they haven't noticed most people standing, and don't want to do anything such as "please stand" or "please be seated."

Well, I'll say, "let us stand for the canticle." I wish we could sing the old tune for the Benedictus es tomorrow, but only two or three people know TEC used to be Morning Prayer and remember those days and old tunes.

Marion J. Hatchett in his Commentary of the American Prayer Book (1979) rides to the rescue.

The abundant, 62-page, topical index gives a subentry on "Eucharist of Easter Vigil" beneath "Te Deum." This directs the reader to a rubric on page 294 of the BCP telling that the Canticle at this service can be the Gloria in excelsis, the Te Deum laudamus,, or the Pascha nostrum. This leads the enquiring mind to search out the rubrics for an ordinary mass. So, on page 324 at the beginning of "The Holy Eucharist: Rite One," immediately after the texts for the Kyrie and the Agios o Theos, one finds this just before the text for the Gloria:
quote:
When appointed, the following hymn or some other song of praise is sung or said, in addition to, or in place of the preceding, all standing.
In short, Barefoot Friar, according to the diffuse use of the Episcopal Church, your answer is, Yes.

Yes. We had that today, with the psalm being from the book of Daniel. (Just because it's not in the book of Psalms doesn't make it not a psalm, just like not all the proverbs are in Proverbs or lamentations in Lamentations).

Is a ciborium any relation to the chuppah/huppah held above the couple during a Jewish wedding ceremony?

If so, it gives some lovely additional symbolism to the Eucharist.

I don't know if it has a relationship with the canopy,but CIBORIUM comes from the Latin word CIBUS which means FOOD
CIBORIUM is also used sometimes as the name for a canopy over an altar,usually made of some sort of stone.The canopy can also be called BALDACCHINO
which comes from BALDACCO,being an old name in Italian for the city which many people know as Baghdad and originally referred to the fine silk hangings (from Baghdad) which were part of the canopy.

I was watching a lovely video of Maundy Thursday mass at S. Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church in NYC. (You have do direct yourself due to the coding, if you're interested.)

The liturgy is Rite I with Catholic additions. Something curious I noticed about the liturgy was during the invitation for communion. The celebrant recites the Ecce Agnus Dei, "Behold the Lamb of God. Behold Him who taketh away the sins of the world." However this was not followed by the Domine Non Sum Dignus. ("Lord I am not Worthy...") Instead communion immediately followed.

I know neither one is strictly BCP, but I find it odd to include one but exclude the other. Is this common? Is it due to theological objections or simply parish practice?

Not sure of the answer for St. Ignatius' parish, but at Ascension, Chicago, it currently goes like this:

Priest: Behold the Lamb of God; behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper. Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof.
People: But only say the word, and my soul shall be healed.
Priest: The gifts of God for the people of God.

This was the practice at Our Lady of Hardwork until a rector in the '90s added it in.

Now you couldn't stop the congregation from saying it, even if not prompted by the celebrant.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask it but does anyone know what is involved in becoming a member of the Church of England.
I was baptised and confirmed a Roman Catholic, have attended a CofE church for about 20 years. I have led Sunday school, bible studies, been involved in outreach and am an occasional preacher. Now want to take the next step to be an LLM but have been told that I will have to become a member of the church. Have the last 20 years of dedication not meant that I am a member? What more do I need to do, after all I can't be baptised or confirmed again?

You'll need to be "received into the Church of England". It's not terribly complicated - talk to your priest.

I believe that's the procedure in the Episcopal Church USA also. RC baptism and confirmation would be seen as valid (although you may be asked to show your baptismal certificate), so you wouldn't have to receive those sacraments again. You would, however, have to be "received" into the Episcopal Church by the bishop, most likely after attending an "enquirer's class."

Tessa
A friend of mine at theological college was in the same position as you ( and by that time in training for ordination). One day when Bishop was present a small group of us gathered with her at the font in the local church and she was asked again to reaffirm her baptism vows ( as we all do at the Easter vigil) There was then a declaration ( three short questions to ask if she wanted to be received into communion with the C of E) she4 then came to the font where she was signed with the cross by the Bishop. There were then a couple of prayers. It was a very simple and moving service.
The details of the service of reception into the C of E can be found
Reception into the Church of England
There is also provision for this to take place within a Communion service we just happened to have a short service.
It doesn't deny your commitment that has been demonstrated, simply fulfils the requirement for all ordained ministers of the C of E to be members of the C of E.

Very similar to here. My recollection is that a bishop is needed and the short service fits easily into a confirmation. Perhaps if you are to become an LLM, the formalities for that along with a blessing could easily occur just after the Reception.

Same here - we recently had a combined service, with someone being received into the CofE at the same time as confirmation, baptism and reaffirmation of baptism. Once you manage to capture a pointy hat, you make use of it as much as possible, before it vanishes again for another year!

For someone (including, as it happens, me) who was confirmed by a mere RC priest not in bishop's orders, what's the CofE's take on the validity of the confirmation? As I understand it, CofE priests aren't permitted to confirm unless they're bishops.

While the ordinary minister of confirmtion is the bishop, there are many situations in which a priest can confirm, using the chrism consecrated by his bishop. This is perfectly valid, and the C of E recognizes that. I believe that their priests are also empowered to confirm under certain circumstances, at least in danger of death, even if it rarely happens. When I grew up in TEC, that was the case.

My wife was confirmed by an RC priest and that was perfectly fine when she joined TEC - the bishop's presence is essentially supplied by the grant of faculties by the RC bishop and the consecration of the chrism thereby. Presumably the CofE is similar.

I have been through this and the process was very much as Jante described. I didn't have to do preparation classes or anything, just a very straightforward ceremony, albeit alongside some schoolchildren who were being confirmed! We did have trouble tracking down my original baptism certificate though and had to ring the RC church for a copy - a bit awkward!

Canon B27 confirms that the confirmation service must be performed by a Bishop but B28 allows those from other churches who have been episcopally confirmed with unction or with the laying on of hands, with the permission of the bishop, to be received into the Church of England according to the Form of Reception

CoE canonists can chip in if they wish, but in the Anglican Church of Canada, the canons require a bishop's hand. AFAIK few prelates receiving RCs ask if their confirmation was presbyteral (rare among the Latin RCs here) or episcopal. I have only seen RCs integrated into our Borg through reception.

FWIW, confirmation by a priest is very common for adults being received or baptised during the parochial Easter Vigil. Not at all rare. Children who are received join their agemates in the confirmation process.

Surely being received alongside those being confirmed is a joy? It is part of being a parish, a congregation and a community.

I have recent knowledge of a wise CofE Bishop who, when the question of the presbyteral confirmation of a (now) Anglican candidate for ordination to the diaconate arose, deftly dealt with the question of validity of confirmation, by swiftly and privately administering conditional confirmation on the candidate, thus not denying the validity of the former act, but merely correcting any defect (if indeed any defect occurred). No one was embarrassed, nothing was impaired, no validity denied and charity and certainty preserved!

Result!

I was less than well-informed, then, by a contact whose knowledge is I now think too theoretical for words, as PeteC is around the parish coalface more than those who prefer academic life.

No one was embarrassed, nothing was impaired, no validity denied and charity and certainty preserved!

Result!

Hmm, but the CoE recognizes confirmation with episcopally-consecrated chrism even when administered by a presbyter ...

I didn't have to do preparation classes or anything, just a very straightforward ceremony, albeit alongside some schoolchildren who were being confirmed! We did have trouble tracking down my original baptism certificate though and had to ring the RC church for a copy - a bit awkward!

Surely being received alongside those being confirmed is a joy? It is part of being a parish, a congregation and a community.
Oh it was, the children weren't all that straightforward, that was all!

Does anyone out there know of a relatively recent hymn, sung to the tune "Finlandia"?

I am aware of "We rest of thee" and "Be still my soul". But I am sure that there is another set of words. I have a suspicion (only that) that it might be something written by Timothy Dudley-Smith or Michael Baughan or Michael Perry.

I have found THIS wikipedia page. But this doesn't contain what I am looking for.

This is driving me mad! Can any one put me out of my misery?

Oscar - are you thinking of a Good Friday hymn? A modern version of the lamentations? I can think of one I've sung to Finlandia like that, but can't remember enough to track it down, but I'll go dig when I'm around later.

Yes, that's a version of the reproaches - it's in this order of service.

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of, and it is Michael Forster. I just couldn't dig the word "reproaches" out of the memory banks.

Thank you seasick.

There's a version of the Magnificat set to Finlandia. I think it might be called "Tell out my soul," but I'm not sure.

I was all set to trot out "We trust in you", number 446 in Hymns for Today's Church, but realised just in time that it is the 'modern' version of "We rest in Thee".

The sooner we get rid of that b***** book, the better. [Mad]

I'm more familiar with "Be Still My Soul" set to Finlandia.

Does it? Can you quote an authority for that?
