Christ is Risen!

HAT IS about 9″x12x1″, decorated in art work from the Book of Kells and sits in the middle of an Altar on top of the Antimins (ER) or in front of the tabernacle (WR)? The Gospel book, of course.

Kirkepiscatoid asks So just what constitutes a Gospel book, anyway????

We get into rants, raves and that bizarre form of oppression or “ism” that denies the handicapped their place at God’s table. Quotes from the rubrics (and a case of spirit vrs letter) and a discursus on other ways we exclude folks by actions that have nothing to do with theology and everything to do with “good taste”. That’s the song we sing at communion, something about seeing that the Lord has Good Taste.

If you have an iPod or iPhone, I’ve been working on an online prayer book.

Interestingly enough, there’s a Greek Orthodox monk in the United States working on software to display Byzantine chant neumes and text on digital media like Blackberries and Kindles for hand-held use in church. He even envisions computerized chanter stands with display screens, sound files and discreet ear pieces to help prompt cantors and keep them in tune as they serve in church, as a special help for newer cantors still learning the ropes. An interesting application of modern technology to perpetuate an ancient tradition!
