Anglican church services in some parts of the world ( the UK, Bermuda, and America ), as far late as the 1960s, were more “HIGH CHURCH”, than Catholic services, here were. They were probably closer to what both Catholic and Henry’s church services were like, when he was alive.
I’m acquainted, although they’re known as Episcopal here.
This is very true! It annoys me how the American Catholic church has gotten rid of things like Evensong, etc. Even very Catholic parishes that have the Latin Mass don’t keep the ancient rituals and services. Grrrr! A sense of beauty is so important to religion. I’m currently listening to lectures on comparative religion. I started with Hinduism because of their brilliant sense of beauty and color.
