about putting Christ back at the centre of the liturgical action I'm not convinced that Christ is the centre of the liturgy, given that the first prayer addressed to Christ comes well into the communion rite (Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God...) and pretty much everything before that is add...

Present indicative… Present subjunctive… True. Poor old subjunctive; I would that it were not largely lost from modern English! However, we don't know which mood is better used in English because it was omitted from the Latin and actually either fits. Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictiona...

I'd like to know that too! And I didn't know Britney had written anything liturgical… It was interesting to read Chris' post elsewhere as well, and it struck me that, a) his skill and enthusiasm will be infectious and the children will respond to that and b) like most children, they are happiest i...

I agree, Nick: define 'Folk Group' first! If Gwyn really means 'anything which doesn't use the organ, but has guitars', then it is a tad sweeping to condemn all as mediocre and terrible. To answer Gwyn's question about knowing of a really good one, yes, I do! But it is not a 'folk' group in that it ...

I'm not sure if mine will still fit the required metre… No, it doesn't fit the metre. I don't know the tune at all, so I wasn't sure if any extra syllables would be allowed. So I stuck exactly to the 7777 metre with emphasis on the odd beats. This made the whole thing quite hard (for me) because,...

Look, you've got this Christmas thing all wrong - it just comes down to how much chocolate you can stuff in a given period. So it starts as soon as you've eaten the first offering in your Advent calendar - and ends only when you've tucked into the first Cream Egg for Easter, usually on sale from Box...

Re: Soppy readings: Liturgy matters?
…something in me wants to say, 'This is the centre of our Faith, the holiest, most solemn part of the Mass, and we kneel as a mark of reverence.' We thank you, Lord, for counting us worthy to STAND in your presence… Enough said. Back to the topic! Yes, Nick, I do and will contact you off this b...

Then perhaps he should come and hear a guitarist with a bit more imagination. I agree, to play it as written is dull. So whenever we use it - which, I hasten to add, is almost never (over dead bodies come to mind) - the chords get reharmonised, and the instrumentation varied from verse to verse. Per...
