I am reliably informed that the Dean of Salford Deanery is not one and the same as the Dean of Salford Cathedral. If he were he would require two seats at Deanery Conference which I am told takes place in the Cathedral House. All of the above points regarding the roles and responsibilities of a Metr...

Whether or not most Catholics in this country think the DIOCESE of Westminster to be the "be all and end all" of Catholic life in this country... IT IS NOT. Each and every individual Bishop in this country have equal rank in the Church and look to no other Bishop for Primacy but the Bishop...

The so-called "Dean of Westminster" is a royal appointment to Her Majesty's Parish Church (benefice attached). Since Catholics are not permitted to "usurp" Anglican titles then the exception to the new title of Dean in Catholic Cathedrals, was that of Westminster. As to Boy bisho...

MCB .....

WHAT ABOUT THE PRIEST??????? Should he merely be limited to an "anyone else"? With such an enlightened Priest who proclaims the date of Easter how could you leave him out MCB? :lol

I couldn't possibly advocate the replacement of the clergy with computers whether they could sing or not! However replacing singers with computers could be an interesting forum topic.

With ref. to this debate then.... what category does Silent night come under? Is it "folk" as it was written for guitar?

Does pregnancy and its term begin with conception or with implantation? If it is implantation then this may not have occurred...

how about "Dilate the Advent Candle four".. maybe an extra candle could be provided.

I was going back to the beginning of this thread Ref O come o come Emmanuel... by the way

Are we not the new Israel on a pilgrimage whose destination is the new and eternal Jerusalem? Surely we will only fully arrival with the appearance of the Son of God coming on the clouds of glory. Advent prompts us to think of Christ's three "comings". In history in the stable of Bethlehem...

I do believe that, music being at the service of the liturgy (action of the people) and not vice versa, that the full, active and conscious participation of the rest of the congregation deserves more attention. If the siting of the choir aids this then this is laudable. I take contrabourdon's point ...

As an infrequent visitor to one of our northern cathedrals, I would like to make my own contribution to the debate of the position of the choir. As an ardent traditionalist, I am of the opinion that the choir loft is the most suitable place of all. This would aid the amplification problem. Incidenta...
