"Survey: What color did the priest officiating at your Christmas Mass wear?"

Our priest (our Anglican parish priest is actually a retired bishop)wore a really beautiful coronation tapestry chasuble, heavy on the gold and very old, which we purchased from England. All the altar cloth - frontal, missal cover, etc.- were white with gold, and hand made by my wife who worked till the wee hours of Christmas eve day getting them finished. I'm so proud of her and the other ladies of our new congregation who have been making all altar linens by hand. We don't have a lot of money to work with and, to my mind, these are priceless.

The selflessness of your wife and the other women (what no men? ... just kidding!) will be richly rewarded some day. Thank you for sharing that story.

You mention that this is a new congregation. Is this in any way the result of the ECUSA decision this year?
