Well, you probably know more about it than me, but "high" CoE (Anglican?)has always seemed like a group of CoE folks who like the ritual/ceremony of the RC church, but prefer to be without the Pope.

In any event, I'm glad that you're not like the ECUSA gang.

I have heard it described as traditional worship without Protestant subtractions or Papal additions. Really, it is worship according to the seven Ecumenical Councils of the undivided Church. It is very close to the way Christians worshipped in the first several centuries after Pentacost. In many ways it is simialr to the pre-Vatican II Tridentine Mass, and very similar to Greek Orthodox worship. There are basic differences in dogma, but Orthodox is Orthodox, I guess.

Our Parish has high and low Masses, as some (I for one) like the "smells and bells" of our sung High Mass (beads, bells, incense - hippies or Anglicans?), some prefer a shorter Mass with fewer chants and a less formal approach.
