Re: New Translation of the Lectionary incoming
I'm still hoping that they might develop sufficient pastoral sensibility to adapt the lectionary to use inclusive language! Worth debating!

Re: Liturgical Tourism
Evensong at York Minster. Proper choral evensong, the shining jewel in Anglicanisms crown. An indifferent visiting choir didnt spoil it. Lovely. But if Cranmer was able to translate the latin collects into beautiful clear English with wonderfully balanced phrases, how come our lot made such a pig's...

Re: Installation of new Archbishop of Southwark
Here is a message copied and pasted from the Southwark Archdiocese' website: "We are delighted to inform the Cathoilic community that Southwark Diocese intends to stream the Installation of the Most Reverend John Willson as Archbishop of Southwark at 12 noon on Thursday 25th July 2019 from St G...

Re: Learning the organ
If you have already started on David Sanger's book, then I would strongly encourage you to have organ lessons. This will greatly help you to progress, as well as eliminating bad habits at an early stage.

Re: Diocesan youth celebrations
Unlike Westminster, there is no core music repertoire for Southwark. Personally, I like it that each congregation has the freedom to choose music which suits its style of worship, from Latin at a small number of churches (e.g. St Augustine's Ramsgate) through English Hymnal used by the Ordinariate t...

Re: Installation of new Archbishop of Southwark
This should be a great occasion with good music directed by Canon Alan McLean. The rehearsal will be fun as well as hard work. Anyone in striking distance of Southwark who is can sing will be very welcome. The cathedral has a great acoustic and a newly restored Compton organ. I'm guessing there will...

Re: Involving visitors - music of First Holy Communion
I attended a granddaughter's FHC yesterday. This was a Saturday morning Mass for First Communion. There was no attempt made to involve visitors. The catechists did the readings and read bidding prayers. The prayers had been written by the children but had clearly been heavily edited. I don't want to...

St Mary's Hartlepool
Delighted to read that.St. Mary's in Hartlepool is raising £26,000 to restore their organ. If anyone knows the people involved, PM me and I can suggest a charity that might provide a small donation. We have recently paid £24.000 to restore our organ and managed to fundraise £16,000, mostly through t...

Re: Organist contract
It's worth noting that a self employed sole trader can claim a £1000 tax free allowance instead of claiming for expenses. See the HMRC website for details. I hadn't been aware of this till this year. My organist's income for weddings & funerals dropped below £1000 in my last tax year and, when I...

Re: Wedding tourism
In these days of equality, the emphasis placed on brides, their mothers and their attendants seems a little out of place. I played for a wedding once where the priest warned me that we could get raided by the police as the bride's father was wanted! All the men were on lookout in the carpark during ...

Re: Wedding tourism
Don't understand these mini processions. If each server processed up individually before a Sunday Mass, you'd never hear the end of it!

Re: Westminster Cathedral choir
I suppose it depends on one's view of full time boarding for young children. There are a number of adults for whom it wasn't always a pleasant experience.
