I get emotional about the loss of that tradition.

It lives on in the Continuum.

There is also a Western Rite within Orthodoxy (under the Antiochian archdiocese) and there was a western-rite mission here in Oregon but it closed because its priest is in ill health.

Each year, on All Saints day (June in our calendar), our choir closes the service with Vaugh Williams' "For all the Saints". Many of us ex-Anglicans join in. I can hardly get the words out - it chokes me up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a convinced Orthodox. I'm home. But I still feel the loss.
