Except when the Bishop mentioned the "Holy Ghost." The Catholic Church decreed from the Vatican years ago that the term "Holy Spirit" would be used instead.
Anglicans believe everything Catholics believe---except they do not recognize the Pope..... thanks to Henry the eighth.
Now there are talks between Anglicans and the Vatican seeking rapprochement......being connected once again to Catholicism.
Maybe Catholic might even get back to the lovely custom of wearing hats to church.
I'm old enough to remember the beautiful mantillas frequently worn to Mass here in the states years ago. Also recall (to my mother's horror) during Mass with another young girl as we giggled uncontrollably when a woman's gigantic hat brim rested atop both our heads while we were on the kneelers after Communion.
Where my sister lives the Lutheran service is so similar to the Anglican that one would hardly notice a difference.
I could sing along with two of the hymns (one written by Wesley) and follow the new dedicated anthem (because it was a direct quote of a Psalm). It was the hats that were the only obvious difference then the Methodist church down the street and this particular service. Yes there was a word or two different (spirit/ghost), but even the flow of the service was very familiar. OTOH There was no communion offered, even to the bride and groom. Wonder if this was their choice.
Appreciated the prayer that the two had composed together and how both sang along with hymns without need of looking at the words.....They’ve attended church regularly to be able to do that.
Since the newspaper mentioned reading lips, we did a little too...When they got into the carriage, Cate asked him if he was happy with the day. He answered Yes....couldn’t follow...and then asked her if she was also.
Still looking for a picture from Cinderella with PC in his red uniform. I think it’s the Disney version.
