I thought the Eccles community would be the one most interested in seeing a new, short documentary (just 8 mins) about Dom Anselm Shobrook OSB, iconographer at Alton Abbey. Dom Anselm runs a number of icon-writing courses each year and the documentary is about what and how he teaches his students. Find the documentary here.

And here is their video on the Maundy Thursday liturgy. These are only 3 minutes long and the choir is lovely to listen to. (All voices from Yale, IIUI.)

Easter Saturday means it's Ordination Day again in my community. For the first time, we're webcasting the ordination live here. It's at 2pm (EST). I think we're also webcasting Matt's first mass which is the next day at 11:45am (EST) which I'll be serving.

That chimere with a train and train-bearers is a thing to behold. I wonder when last such a garment was given an airing.

Thanks for those links to the archived British Pathe news reels of Archbishop Lang's installation (enthronement) at Canterbury. What priceless and rare film footage!

I once saw a large photograph that I think was printed in an old edition of Anglican World magazine, of Hugh Rowlands Gough, Anglican archbishop of Sidney and primate of Australia, 1959-66, wearing such a rig.

Gough was shown in a scarlet chimere with a train carried at its ends by two choir boys vested in surplices. The archbishop's chaplain was shown carrying Gough's crozier before him. Needless to say, such fol de rol is since long gone from the Sydney diocese with the subsequent changes of Archbishop Marcus Loane, and now those of the strident, Evangelical-Calvinist Jensen regime in place there .

Chimeres with trains are such a rare part of Anglican ceremonial trivia as to strain belief. Yet this particular piece of tat did exist and was used, presumably by archbishops of some rank, primates and the like. I certainly haven't seen or heard of any Anglican prelate of such rank sporting a chimere with a train since the demise of Hugh Gough. Like clerical gaiters, the chimere with train seems to have disappeared along with interest in its use.

Nevertheless, we also have another rarity in the use of the chimere by cathedral deans. Those chimeres were worn over surplices. The dean of Canterbury, for instance, can be seen, if you look carefully, wearing his chimere over a surplice in both British Pathe films of the enthronement of Archbishop Lang.

Sermon by the Rt. Rev. Michael Curry (NC) during TEC's General Convention, last Saturday's eucharist. The link has the text of the sermon, but to merely read the words would be short-changing yourself. It's really worth watching. This man can preach!


Just for fun. The convention being somewhat structured around a statement called "The Five Marks of Mission," five bishops named Mark got together and performed this song. (Getting a little punchy on the last day, I assume.)

Here are some photos of the ordination of a new curate at S. Clement's, Philadelphia, an occasion of considerable importance not only for the young man in question and for the parish, but also for all of us who consider ourselves to be within the Catholic wing of the Anglican Church. A service sheet and recording are also available.

It certainly seems to have been a glorious occasion: that choir singing Elgar and Mozart accompanied by an orchestra! According to my sources, there were touching personal additions, such as having — on the altar — a rosary for the curate's civil partner as well as the usual flowers for his mother and for the BVM.

I am, however, saddened not to see a cappa magna, and that there was only one deacon of honour to the bishop and apparently no assistant priest! I'm not saying that S. Clement's has 'gone low' in the same way that, say, Margaret Street has, but I had expected better from a parish that I have always regarded as the absolute pinnacle of good liturgical praxis (although I've never been lucky enough to visit myself).

Certain Shipmates may be glad to see that the black gowns and hats for choirladies that caused so much consternation in this thread (which does, it must be said, rather degenerate into Two Minutes' Hate against this wonderful and inspiring parish). There are even ordained women in the liturgical choir, which suggests that rumours of Clementine misogyny are greatly exaggerated (note that I am not addressing the rights or wrongs of the ordination of women, merely pointing out that this parish's position on that issue seems to be different from how it's been presented in precious threads and MW reports).

What? ASMS is currently undeniably liturgically 'lower' than it has been at any point since the First World War. It's now only one step higher than Southwark Cathedral and the gap between it at Bourne Street has only grown (I gather that, at one point, they were considered to have similar liturgies, which hasn't been the case since at least the 1980s and probably earlier).

I like ASMS, but I wouldn't want S. Clement's to go down that route! It has always stood out as a beacon of excellence for a certain style of Anglican worship that has, alas, gone out of fashion in the past 50 years.

I see your point. To describe ASMS as 'lower than it used to be' (though surely though choreographed by Fortescue it was always libretto by Cranmer) is doubtless accurate; to describe it as 'low' in a C of E context is hilarious.

Be that as it may, I'll believe the parish's position is truly different when I hear a priest who happens also to be a woman presiding there. (++KJS celebrated at SMV Times Square. Join them in the trend!) I am sure there are many people at S. Clement's who wouldn't mind, but clearly there must be some [perhaps only a few] in high positions and/or regard who do.

IMHO people who lament ASMS and St Clement's becoming "lower" are just being silly. Both are still premier Anglo-Catholic parishes. Just because the shape of the liturgy and the ceremonial at ASMS are reasonably consistent with mainstream Anglicanism, albeit with plenty of Anglo-Catholic devotion, hardly makes it some sort of modernist MOTR-low confection. I shall happily be back serving at High Mass at ASMS in a couple weeks time, always one of the most meaningful experiences for me. As to St Clement's, where I serve habitually these days - including at yesterday's ordination mass and today's first mass celebrated by our curate - again it's a matter of slightly simplifying liturgy and ceremonial to deal with the realities of what will best serve devotion and the physical capacities of a congregation and clergy in what this very hot summer is often an unbearably hot nave, chancel and sanctuary. The cassocks and vestments of the entire party in the sanctuary yesterday and today were soaked through by the time the liturgy had barely started. Devotion and liturgical beauty do not equal making a fetish out of the English Missal and its rubrics, nor of the Roman Pontifical or Fortescue. To do so, indeed, breeds the narrowest sort of clericalism, often largely in the persons of an elite coterie of amateur lay liturgists who fancy themselves experts not to be questioned or challenged. Stylistically, All Saints Margaret Street is different to St Mary Bourne Street or St Magnus Martyr London Bridge; that doesn't make ASMS a lower church than those two other parishes. The same principle applies to St Clement's, which remains pretty much without peer in terms of old fashioned Anglo-Catholic liturgical traditionalism in the United States (quite a few TEC Anglo-Catholic parishes can be cited that are stylistically different to St Clement's, yet no less Anglo-Catholic). As to misogyny and other expressions of bigotry regarding gender and human sexuality, I am pleased to confirm that great progress has been made of late at St Clement's in getting rid of these deplorable traits of a certain brand of retrograde Anglo-Catholicism.

Not MOTR-low, no, but it's not particularly high as Anglo-Catholic parishes go. I would classify ASMS as theologically Catholic, liturgically high-MOTR (in the same vein as Westminster Abbey or Southwark Cathedral, but slightly more traditional and with more smoke), and of course musically without peer in terms of London parish churches. I think the combination of its glorious choir, large service team, and elaborate building (complemented by some stunning vestments and church plate) all combine to make it seem 'higher' than it really is, in the same way that low-MOTR liturgies in cathedrals often seem higher than they are. In contrast, S Magnus often seems lower than it actually is. Bourne Street, which has a serving team that rivals Margaret Street's and a choir that almost does, can seem just impossibly high on big occasions (needless to say, I think being impossibly high is a good thing!).

I've often thought that Bourne Street is MOTR by the standards of London Anglo-Catholicism, by which I mean that it avoids the extremes represented by ASMS (lowish and vaguely modernist with an emphasis on the Anglo-), S. Silas (modern Anglo-Papalist) and S. Magnus (antiquarian pre-Pian Anglo-Papalist).

I hope, however, that my minor gripes about S. Clement's didn't obscure the fact that I'm very, very, happy to see a new curate there. I found the pictures of his ordination very moving.

While visiting London a few months ago, I attended Mass at ASMS and St.Alban's Holborn.
The liturgy in Margaret Street is C.W.the ceremonial is still very elaborate, just like the Brompton Oratory.
St.Alban's Holborn,while using the modern Roman rite has a more"reformed" ceremonial.
I like Holborn better since this church has more far space for their ceremonies.ir

Excellent! However now that Roman Catholics have learned more about how to properly walk in procession like Anglicans (the procession pros}, we need to get rid of those song leaders who stand behind a lectern and wave their arms. I suspect that at places like Notre Dame, the congregation can sing well enough all by itself with organ accompaniment.

Question from a U.S. non-Anglican: I recently attended an outdoor funeral at which the officiant was a retired Episcopal priest whom I found (after some online checking) to be of the Anglo-Catholic variety. He was wearing a very long, simple, flowing surplice with a particularly high neckline, together with a cassock and a wide tippet with no embellishments. The surplice draped beautifully and looked very elegant. Is there a name for this particular type of surplice?

With big pointed sleeves like this? I think this is often called an Anglican surplice as opposed to a Roman one with the rounder, smaller sleeves. Wippell's and Abbey make these (among others).

It sounds like what's often known as an 'English' or 'full English' surplice. Did it look like this?

Yes, on both counts. The sleeves were large and pointed. Thanks.

It's interesting that you should mention that said priest was an Anglo-Catholic, as such surplices are not usually associated with Anglo-Catholicism. In general, whilst it is safe to assume that any priest dressed like this is an Anglo-Catholic, full surplices are more often seen on traditionally-inclined MotR or even lowish clerics. Even firmly 'Prayer Book Catholic' parishes (e.g. ASMS) these days generally wear cottas, although they are seldom trimmed in such rich lace as that modeled by Fr Rowlands in that picture. There are exceptions, though, as there nearly always are. I quite like the look of English surplice with tippet and hood myself, and was interested to see the new curate of S. Clement's Philadelphia wearing a get up that seemed to owe more to the Warham Guild than to that parish's Ultramontanism (yes, there was even an authentic 'Warham Guild hood'; no I don't have a link, I'm afraid).

Is it a pond difference? ISTM that only English Anglo-catholics make so much of the differing styles of surplices. American a-cs (and English RCs) seem quite happy to wear 'Anglican' surplices.

I seem to remember when small, the BBC including in the news of Easter Day a snippet of Michael Ramsey (the least tat queenly bishop imaginable) going to preach at Canterbury Cathedral with a train to his chimere and two chorister/page boys.

But Anglican bishops have never been the same since they gave up wearing wigs and began wearing mitres. Pictures of Victoria's coronation and her son's show the difference.

Nashotah House seminary in Wisconsin has put Fr. Heschle's Anglican Missal (adapted to Rite I somewhat) demo Mass back on Vimeo (this time with post-Mass Q&A) along with videos featuring Fr. John-Julian OJN on liturgical gestures; some videos on the deacon's role in the liturgy; and some torchbearer and crucifer training.

All the fun is right here.

Yes, it surely is a pond difference. In general, you won't find American Anglo-Catholic Episcopalians wearing lace or any kind of antique cut, Roman surplices, albs, vestments or other tat.

However, that being said, allow me to eat my words if you take a look at this bizarre event held beginning at 10AM, last Saturday, October 6, at Washington National Cathedral. You will see more odd tat on parade than the rather more narrow assessment in my previous post.

The 30ish something Annual National Acolyte Festival

Printed service leaflet

The presider was Bishop James B. Magness, bishop suffragan for the armed services and federal ministries of The Episcopal Church.

* Cast of thousands!
* Smoke!
* Bendy poles and banners galore!
* All manner of vesture!

* The music: Well quite glorious!
* The Cathedral Singers group directed by lay
Canon Michael McCarthy
* Spectacular organ music by Benjamin Straley, assistant cathedral organist

A long service, but fun to watch and listen to. Bishop Magness preached and said, "Being an acolyte is the best kind of Christian education a young person could have."

Magness himself was trianed as an acolyte in western North Carolina, and he credits that training for saving his faith and his sanity after his war time service in Viet Nam.

Enjoy!

Thank you. I have never encountered the confession at the beginning of an Episcopal liturgy, although I certainly know it is an option in the BCP79. You can tell the priest is very Catholic in ceremonial, but it is a good representation of a traditional-language (Rite 1) TEC weekday liturgy for those who have always wondered.

I should have added that I especially appreciate it as evidence that a well-done liturgy, with a suitable sermon, can take place in 29:12. Add in a couple hymns and perhaps a sung ordinary, and one would still clock in at 40-45 minutes at most.

But this isn't Rite I. It's a Rite II eucharistic prayer that has been "translated" into Rite I quasi-Elizabethan English, and further tinkered with by the addition of some Anglo-Catholic accretions that aren't in the 1979 BCP. It's fine, but it isn't an example of either Rite I or the '79 BCP.
