That is a significant cultural gap. Cricket is absolutely part of life here, and even I (a very not-sporty person) was forced to play a bit at school.

Americans are becoming increasingly interested in rugby union; I expect to see it become a thing here. The All Blacks of New Zealand, who I would expect are greatly unpopular in Australia, are particularly popular.

I’m praying you get a good assignment in a more vibrant parish with people who are more able to work with you - hopefully a parish that has some families with youth attendance and some good liturgical resources, as rare as they might be in your archdiocese at present.

Thank you. The preferred option being explored (I should know more next week) is actually a shift into school chaplaincy. We shall see...

Meanwhile I request your prayers and those of my other Anglican friends, as I’m on the verge of recovery but a number of things could cause an annoying delay to my getting back in the saddle, and its very important that I be serving again for the 10th anniversary of the repose of my beloved father and the third anniversary of the repose of my older uncle, and the anniversary of the repose of my younger uncle, so that I can pray the equivalent of a requiem liturgy for them.

Praying.

Preaching tabs are rarely worn here; I have seen them, very occasionally, but I myself have never worn them.

Splendid! So you have preaching tabs in addition to a clerical collar?

The congregation can't tell unless the cleric has a longer neck. Isn't that half the fun? I used to only wear them for giving academic presentations but I've found some of the low church Lutheran churches I've worked with are comfortable with the look.

For purposes of choir dress I really like to see preaching tabs on Anglican clergy celebrating the divine office

This was in the course of the principle Sunday Mass. However, the parish has a bishop in residence. I had packed several things with the intention of deferring to his preference for my vestment. He rather liked the tabs, as the parish is very Anglo-Catholic and he thought they had probably never seen them before. I was also wearing a zuchetto since he liked head gear but I don't own a biretta.

I think you would find the parish quite interesting. It was begun under the auspices of the Province of Christ the King. More recently it had been under oversight of the Diocese of the Holy Cross. It is now an independent Catholic parish. Though 40-50 in number, the music was exceptional. Paid organist, cantor, and a robust choir not afraid to sing in Latin. My daughters have seldom heard more than a line of Latin so when we sang a whole chorus in Latin they were quite fascinated. Also, most of the women in this church veiled. There was a mother with her 6 daughters and she had all but the youngest 2 veiled (probably 4 and an infant). They are ordinarily an Anglican Missal parish following the 1549 Canon of the Mass but had pulled out a 1928 Altar Service Book for that Sunday to simplify the celebration for a relatively new priest who was also attending the conference and who the bishop wanted to work with personally on celebration. So the celebrant was vested in alb and chasuble, the bishop vested as a priest assisting in surplice and stole, and a third chap (who was also a priest) vested as a deacon and read the Gospel. I preached and served as crucifer. The recording was not up yet last I checked but Bp. Cumming said he has the file.

We went and did it, my mother and I. We booked a Christmas village motor-coach tour package through the German speaking countries. Our trip begins in Vienna, Austria and meanders Westward through Germany, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland with a return to the US from Zurich. We'll catch the first 4 or 5 days of Advent in Europe. We are taking my daughters too but my father has reached the stage of life wherein he does not care to go anywhere that he cannot drive himself or maybe take a ferry boat so he had no interest in going.
