“High church Piskies are “more Roman than Rome” and have no doctrinal problems with the Catholics, other than the supremacy of the Pope and the validity of Anglican Orders”
AND, the crappy music!
2. Our parish doesn't have crappy music, except for an occasional tacky hymn we throw at the old hippies to keep them quiet. Chant, Renaissance polyphony, Anglican anthems of the 16th and 19th cent mostly, and enough good modern music to keep us entertained.
Last night at choir practice we rehearsed Wood's "O Thou the Central Orb", a Christopher Tye anthem whose name escapes me, Britten's "O Come Let Us Sing", the anonymous "Rejoice in the Lord Alway" and that's just the English stuff! I told our choirmaster we really appreciated not having to leave the worthwhile stuff behind.
