Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups

Hugs to Hare. But the ban on singing is [ moderated :D ]. I have had the pleasure on Facebook of a Catholic school signing ( ie BSL) "This is Me". Lots of coughing on the recording and kids with their mouths open presumably breathing. All credits for signing. Etc. But there they were in an...

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups

I read this thread with a sad heart. Two weeks ago we restarted our local community choir with restricted numbers - two at least have had Covid and recovered. It's gone well in that no one has become ill but we fear the managers of the hall will ask us to desist as cases rise in this our "Cased...

So sad

Latest guidance - no singing at weddings - use tape recordings...... etc.
No singing?
No singing, you may be infected and kill others.......
There is something wrong here. I don't know what it is.
We believe.
But fear has gripped us.

And breathe......

Oo, I went to a lovely Mass this morning, but in every hymn the group leapt into the next verse without pause - apparently they have one person that does not sing the last line and so can have enough air to sing the first line of the next verse. At least,it was one voice that started each and every ...

Re: Funerals and autocrats

Oh dear. Some bad experiences there. It is a shame that there are any priests who cannot nurture people when grieving. Maybe a service where people are upset is best carried out by others who are not so directly involved. It is more than that really. Priests have so much to carry and a funeral must ...

Re: Liturgical Tourism

No Gospel Acclamation I think the use of recorded music worked against this. If there was no musician etc in this parish, then they probably would have managed to sing the Gospel Acclamation and maybe a little bit of basic hymn singing. Just quietly , the way people do when they feel the need. With ...

Re: Liturgical Tourism

To bring us back on topic.. I was recently away from home somewhere in Yorkshire where an elderly priest spoke on the Gospel reading about a woman who had bled for 13 years, or it may have been 14 years, I forget. And when she touched Jesus she was cured. So the priest spoke of even those who are th...

Re: Hymns for Confirmation?

Alternatively we could just assign she for he in everything liturgical, from now and for the next 2000 years so as to address imbalance.
