100% Valid reason why we say “Theotokos” even in otherwise-perfectly translated English! Because it’s better than Bogomater! Personally, I’m increasingly fond of Dei Genetrix. But all of these terms mean the same thing, of course: Birth-giver of God. Although some modern-era pious legends try to make it seem unnatural, the idea of God [...]

ES, IT’S true that the Jewish Tradition doesn’t need clergy to lead a service. But take a look at this post over at Jewschool (ignore the politics, the meat is here):
It happened that this particular pilgrim’s grandfather passed away almost a week following the trip’s conclusion and he was rushed with his family [...]

HE BISHOP From over the mountains has approved a new, more literal English translation of the Mass for the Entirety of the Anglosphere. (See how great his power is?) The Catholic News Agency reports:
The new translation is more literal at times. For instance, the first line of the Sanctus, which follows the Consecration, [...]

HE Commonplace Prayerbook has been updated with Prayers Before Communion from the Western Rite tradition. As in other cases, the language has been modernised and tweaked a little (especially in the antiphon on the psalms - which has been changed entirely to a traditional communion verse). The primary sources are the Anglican [...]

HERE WAS To be a couple of final posts from Rick Fabian’s Worship At St Gregory’s, but I see that the last segment on the Church Year is reprinted with permission from another publication - from which publishers I do not have the same permission. So I will respect the sources.
Here is a [...]
WO More sets of prayers have been added to my online “Commonplace Prayerbook“. Both of these are Eastern Rite and communion related:
Cannon of Preparation for Communion
Prayers after communion
In the production/editing line are ER Pre-communion prayers as well as pre- and post-communion prayers from the Western Rite as. I’m also exploring the use of icons [...]

We continue with the serialised posting of Rick Fabian’s Worship At St Gregory’s. These few remaining post-communion rites conclude the liturgy proper as well as the portion of the text dealing with the liturgy itself.
E Give in response to God’s gifts to us, and so take part in God’s generosity. Hence this moment [...]

F All the liturgical memories I have from SGN, the most joyful and awe-full one is giving communion. I was never worried about getting it wrong. Everything else - speaking, reading, preaching - left me worried that I’d mess something up. Giving communion came to me naturally: Placing the bread [...]
Posted in church geekery, emergent, praxis conversation on 22 April 2008 - 18 ניסן 5768
Was having a talk today with a friend online about the Independent Sacramental movement. The conversation was all over the board.
Then I said we needed to start our own indy jurisdiction and I first suggested that we do Eastern Rite, but then I realised that would be stupid because I’d want no [...]
