You're OK. Full details are at m, the 2 key paragraphs of which are you will need to buy a Music Licence unless: there is an exemption in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (as amended) that means you do not have to obtain a copyright licence, or your music use is covered by a PRS Charging ...

Choir receives Communion first, comes back and sings an anthem while the Congregation receive Communion. Then a Communion hymn (ie one relating to Communion).

Notices and dismissal are followed by Angelus and a final hymn, often Marian in Ordinary Time, appropriate to the time of year otherwise.

Interesting that the Book of Common Prayer has the Gloria at the Postcommunion.

I've seen it stated here, and it was repeated by Mgr Boylan in the recent M&L, that where GIRM gives a variety of options for a particular item, then the first option is 'to be preferred'. What is the basis for making this statement? (I can't find it either in GIRM or CTM). Assuming that the sta...

To do so does raise issues of freedom of speech and censorship I don't think it does, actually. Participation in any communal activity implies acceptance of the rules governing that activity. Nobody has any rights to post on a privately owned and volunteer-run internet disussion board save by the e...

Are you suggesting we should all become conversant with Mass in Latin to make life easier for the few who might occasionally attend in foreign climes?

This is worse than Round Britain Quiz. The council dropped the apostrophe off the road signs, which now read "Kings Heath", a good while ago - I think I was still living there, so it must have been 1998ish. The bit of the GWR territory I now live in gets round the apostrophe problem via a ...

Seconded

Hoping to make it - maybe a chance to put some faces to some names! Generally sing tenor, but can also mess up a bass line if necessary. (Don't suppose there will be a chance for those of us interested in such things to admire t'organ at close range? Not asking to play it, but would interested to he...

Hear hear. How are they funding it? Please please please can we have something similar in the Midlands?

For example, when an organisation requires employees as a condition of employment to sign a contract limiting their freedom of speech what statute or case law upholds this? A valid contract is enforceable through the courts by virtue of itself. It doesn't need any external law (other than the commo...

No. He needs to get a life. This has been doing the rounds for 5 years, and started off as a spoof on the C of E. Couldn't be a***d to check whether EP had bothered to update it while copying and pasting it, so apologies if nought out of ten for originality is a tad harsh.
