Well folks, it happened. I was ordained to the Subdiaconate yesterday. As soon as I get some pictures, I'll try and post a few here.

Mother of Christ,
Mother of mine,
intercede for us.
Amen.
"Thus abundantly hath the Church of England vindicated her reformation from all pretence of apostasy from the true, ancient Catholic and Apostolic Church...No new Church was set up; no new articles of faith brought in; no new Sacraments; no new order of Priesthood to minister in holy things... only the old were purged from impurities in doctrine, worship and practice. If we were the Catholic Church before, we are still so, and to better purpose." William Cave, The Unity of the Catholic Church maintained in the Church of England
Announcement/Prayer request:
This Sunday the liturgy initiating me as a postulant in the Anglican Order of Preachers will be taking place.
