I remember when I asked my pastor for comumunion.
He said that it sounded like I had already had heart circumsism and that I could wait a week.
Yeah, they had to have a special section in the service.
It took me a little bit of time and bible study to understand what he meant by circumcism. I thin k being in a pool for communion would not be for me unless I had the right heart condition at the moment.
They’re not cutting off heads, let ‘em do what they want.
Exactly what makes it wrong and "liturgical abuse"????
The Novus Ordo and the Episcopalian services aren't all that far off from each other, so I completely get the confusion.
God looks upon the heart, not the form of worship.
Some images, no matter how brief the glimpse, simply cannot be forgotten. We remember those photos, don't we?
Martin Luthers A Mighty Fortress was adapted from a beer song.
This is partially correct. A Mighty Fortress is a “bar tune.” That is a musical form and has nothing to do with beer, taverns, drinking establishments, etc. Luther was certainly an advocate of beer, but A Mighty Fortress was not a drinking song.
Now that you know this, please don’t bear false witness against Luther in the future.

I didn’t say it was a beer song. I said it was adapted from a beer song.
There is no false witness there.

It was NOT adapted from a “beer song.”
According to commenters at Fr. Z’s blog: Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio summer youth camp, London, Ohio.
Thanks for the update, I was concerned. A lot less to be concerned about IMO, since the Blessed Sacrament wasn’t part of that ceremony. Just a symbol.
