Not sure this warrants a thread of its own, but check out:

Church Rescue

a new TV show on the National Geographic channel (or on their website, right now). A team of pastors who call themselves the "Church Hoppers" travel around to churches to help them move beyond their issues. I wasn't very hopeful about the show, until I actually watched it. Now I hope it lasts. The idea of a reality show about fixing churches is an odd premise, admittedly, but it was interesting anyway.

Here's a video of a Mass from the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius in Chicago. It's celebrated ad orientem by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph N. Perry of Chicago. The video was filmed several years ago so what is heard is the previous English translation.

We now turn our eyes farther east to India* with a guided tour of the Holy Qurbana of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. They are a part of the St. Thomas Christians of Kerala, India. Their Catholic counterpart is the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church.

The video is narrated in English. The narration goes over most of the praying and singing but it makes up for this by being very thorough and informative. The video lasts about 48 minutes.

Thank you for this. They do a valuable service by keeping up with social media and videos online. If only all churches did the same. The liturgy is an interesting mixture of different traditions. I'd suggest that anybody watch it at least for the biretta waving during the closing hymn, and the rector's rendition of its second verse: "Ba dum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum..." (The side comments alone imply that this is a fun group to be a part of.)

Thanks for the video and photos, Hart. They certainly bring back memories of that joy-filled celebration (making me a little misty, in fact).

The fourth photo, with the panoramic shot of the basilica, is terrific and really gives a sense of its beauty and splendor.

Several years ago there was a video that went viral of a Gospel procession at an Easter Vigil. The priest (or deacon) twirled while carrying the Gospel book to the ambo, the acolytes danced with their torches, etc. It was tacky but mesmerizing. When Microsoft ate my favorites, I lost it. Googling and searching Youtube have not found it. Does anyone know where it is?

I THINK I have it on my hard drive - but looked and found 'access denied' so not sure why or what that means.

There was an Episcopal church in northern Virginia which had some of the most dazzling thurifer action I have ever seen. We were attending an investure. That kid made the censer whirl around and around his head, over the heads of the open-mouthed congregation. He also did figure eights and loop de loop.

This was in the days before YouTube video, but I hope the lore has been handed down and that images exist somewhere.

The device I'm currently using doesn't support the plug-in required to view the video so I can't verify but I'm fairly sure that this is the one you mean.

I actually came here to post this video of the ceremonies from feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. The service is from the cathedral of St Irenaus, part of the Orthodox Church of France.

The BBC broadcast Carols from Kings from 1954 this evening. The link is available on iPlayer for 29 days but I suspect it's not available outside the UK. It's b/w and supposed to have been digitally remastered, which make one wonder what the original condition was after 60 years.

Apart from the limitations of both sound and television technology in 1954, other things to note are,
- It may just be me, but I felt they sang everything just ever so slightly slower 60 years ago.
- There is something incredibly 1950s but it's difficult to say exactly what, about the intonation of the chanted collect and other prayers at the end.
- The blessing at the end is given the old-fashioned way with the right hand raised and stationary. Except among the strictest evangelicals it's usually given with a sign of the cross these days.
- The interior shows what King's College Chapel was like inside before the vaulting was cleaned and the east end completely altered to display the Rubens in the 1960s.

I'd be interested in any other comments.

Other comments. So all males, however young, had to use Brylcream in 1954.

Watching it on the telly in my childhood, the solo at the start was sung at the back of the nave, rather than as here: a chorister at the front of the procession, nearly at the screen, with a choirmaster beside him keeping time. (You can't trust these young lads, yer know.)

But what a relief, a service starting in total silence rather than vacuous chat (as it still does).

God bless us all, as Tiny Tim says.

A 360 degree loop with a thurible is being shown on UK TV news today. The feat (or folly?) was recorded at the Christmas Day Mass in Canterbury Cathedral, presumably as an alternative entertainment instead of the Archbishop's sermon, which was cancelled due to him having a cold.

Yes - it seemed very slow.

I preferred the old altar with its 4 candles.

The intonation of the collect and blessing isn't that different from the way it is still done in some places, though kings have dumbed it down for some years now and said the collect - and the one for Xmas Eve, not the day itself.

It looked as if the dean's cope was purple, for Advent, rather than white for Xmas.

Crucifer without taperers back then.

Gospel read by a laymen (or a clergyman not in a cope and no gospel procession.)

The hair styles were awful back in those days.

Unobtrusive conducting by Boris Ord, not the passionate flinging and flailing of arms one sees often today, even in procession.

Is a reading from a gospel technically a gospel rather than a New Testament reading if it's not in a eucharistic service?

Readings never come from the gospel in the RC office, so the question doesn't arise.

???????

King's College Chapel is CofE and depending on how one dates these things, has been since 1529 or 1558. So, although that's an interesting titbit that I'd never heard before, it doesn't have much bearing on the point here.

One doesn't treat the New Testament reading in Morning or Evening Prayer differently depending on whether it is from one of the four gospels or not. Although I suspect Leo might have been thinking specifically of the In Principe which usually comes last in a carol service, by that point there will have been several gospel readings from St Luke and St Matthew. They are either all 'the gospel' in the liturgical sense or in this context that's a wrong categorisation. Although I suspect Leo knows a lot more about these things than I do, in this case, I think it would be a categorisation error.

That's sort of what i meant.

The reason why i differentiate the John 1 reading from the other gospel readings is that people remain standing for it and it has procession with acolytes.

There does seem to be a practice of highlighting the final Gospel at a Carol Service (often the Johannine Prologue) with lights, Alleluias, and in our case, incense as well. All of which does provide a suitable climax to the service (and gave me the chance to re-introduce a modest amount of Holy Smoke at a neighbouring parish's Carols by Candlelight)..... [Snigger]

I'm not sure if requests are allowed, please forgive me and disregard if not.

It's about on-demand church service videos.

I currently watch the services from Trinity Wall Street and Brick Presbyterian, NYC; St. Andrew & St. Paul, Montreal and the Presbyterian Cathedral, São Paulo. I used to watch Washington National Cathedral's until Dean Samuel Lloyd III left.

While I'll keep getting my high church fix from Trinity, I'd really enjoy seeing some lower, by-the-book, Evangelical (not Charismatic) Anglican worship for comparison. Especially if the preaching is good. Any hints?

Also, are on-demand service videos an American thing? Aren't there any CofE/CofI/SEC/Kirk shacks doing it?

I came across this clip from Farnborough Abbey of the first vespers in the Benedictine form for the third Sunday of Advent.

My frivolous question is: There are two men in dalmatics supporting the becoped abbot. One of the dalmatics has a bar of embroidery on the chest and the other doesn't. One of them wears a black biretta and the other one a white biretta. Why the difference? Is one a monk and the other not?

This may be the answer to the biretta question....

My frivolous question is: There are two men in dalmatics supporting the becoped abbot. One of the dalmatics has a bar of embroidery on the chest and the other doesn't. One of them wears a black biretta and the other one a white biretta. Why the difference? Is one a monk and the other not?

Not sure about the biretta question (*deletes anti-biretta tirade*) but my guess is that the embroidered dalmatic is for a deacon and the plain one is a subdeacon's tunicle.

That's what I wondered, which is why I didn't call them deacons, but I thought the RCC abolished subdeacons some 50 years ago.

Not that the man has much to do but hold up the end of the cope.

I was a bit surprised at a Benedictine Abbey being so Brompton Oratory (although the ceremonial there is far more complicated for Vespers.)

The RCC did abolish the subdiaconate in 1972, but at Solemn Masses in the Extraordinary Form, using the 1962 Roman Missal, a cleric still acts as subdeacon. More often than not, the cleric (before and after Vatican II) is not actually a subdeacon, but is a priest acting as a subdeacon of the Mass. The same goes for the deacon of the Mass. The cleric in question here is a Norbertine Father, web page, and this order wears a white habit, and biretta, on the occasions when they might be used.

Also, the orders whose charism is to celebrate only the 1962 missal, such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, and the Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priest, have permission to continue the minor orders and subdiaconate. As a result, they have ordination ceremonies where a bishop ordains them to each of these orders.

Does use of the Benedictine office count as part of the extraordinary rite?

Was there a generally accepted Vat II revision it?

PS The OSB doesn't have permission to use the 1962 missal, does it? Or are Benedictine abbeys liturgically autonomous?? So it looks like someone dressing up as a subdeacon. Very high church C of E.

any priest of the Roman rite has the permission to use the 1962 Missal,if his parishioners wish it.

Yes. The successor to the Breviarium Monasticum is the Thesaurus Liturgiae Horarum Monasticae of 1977. It's a "treasury" or directory of materials according to which a Benedictine monastery may construct its own Office. There are certain basic requirements as to number of offices, elements required in each office, psalm distribution schemas, minimum of 75 psalms per week, etc., but lots of options.

The TLHM is available (all in Latin) online here.

Was Farnborough using the old one though? 4 psalms, reading, office hymn, Magnificat.

I was expecting to recognise the tune to the office hymn, which I would have thought was Creator Alma Sidera (or as we schismatics call it Creator of the stars of night). Was it a different hymn or tune?

Forgive my illiteracy in Latin. Conditor alme siderum, not what I said above.

I've just looked it up in my Solesmes Antiphonale and the tune is the same as in dear old English Hymnal.

From Farnborough Abbey's website:

" For the Mass, both the Ordinary and Extraordinary forms of the Roman Rite are employed. The community has an indult from the Holy See which regulates certain monastic usages of the 1962 missal.

The liturgy is, as the Second Vatican Council reminds us, the ‘source and summit’ of the Christian life."

So they have permission for subdeacons presumably, which would explain the tunicle.

What's an indult please?

The automatic spellchecker tried to convert it to insult, by the way.

A favor granted by the Apostolic See (the Pope or a congregation) that is an exception to the law.
