liturgics

So I asked ChatGPT to write a sample anaphora based on Syriac liturgical patterns, which tend to be loose ans highly flexible, and then I had the output formatted into traditional Ecclesiastical English. The results are interesting, although the Sursum Corda looks weird (but then again, in the...

Out of curiosity, is the 2019 BCP mandated in ACNA, or are there still dioceses or parishes where the 1979 BCP, or the 1928 BCP, or the officially sanctioned traditional language version of the 1979 BCP, the Anglican Service Book, etc, are still allowed? I would assume the Reformed Episcopal...

I’ve mentioned my interest before in the Epworth Chapel on the Green in Boise, which is an oasis of liturgical conservative Methodism, similiar to a planned mission church in Indiana being organized by a Nazarene pastor who is a member of the Society of Wesleyan Anglicans, the latter intending...

Having read with interest Chuck Smith’s Calvary Chapel Distinctives , I did not get the sense that there was anything prohibiting traditional or even liturgical worship in a Calvary Chapel, provided that the focus of the service was entirely Christocentric, and the preaching was based on...

To start out with, I really liked this Church of England said Eucharist on Holy Wednesday of this year, from St. Marylebone in the City of Westminster (which is the largest and most populous Borough of London, home to Wesminster Abbey*, Westminster Cathedral**, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of...

I believe and confess, as Coptic priests proclaim in the liturgy after the Epiklesis, that in a properly conducted sacramental liturgy, that the bread on the Paten or Diskos consecrated by the presbyter or bishop truly becomes the actual body of Christ, and likewise the wine in the Chalice truly...

As today is Great and Holy Friday on the Julian Calendar, I thought it meet and right to share this 1961 American documentary covering Antiochian Orthodox Holy Week Services, led by Metropolitan Anthony Bashir (Memory eternal, reposed in 1966) the predecessor of Metropolitan Philip Saliba...

I am looking for recommendations across the broadest range of denominations for livestreaming Protestant churches with traditional worship. I have found some Moravian parishes, several Lutheran parishes, too many Anglican parishes to count, the Park Street Church in Boston (happily, since I...

I am seeking to find out how many members have the experience of Eastern, Oriental or Assyrian Orthodox, Roman and Eastern Catholics, most Anglicans and many Lutherans of hearing the Nicene, Apostles or even the Athanasian Creed every Sunday. If you are a member of a Protestant Church other...

One thing I really wish would stop is the practice of putting monetary offerings right on the altar table, and also the incorrect use of the word “Offertory” to refer to the practice. In the context of liturgics, Offertory refers to the procession in which the unconsecrated bread and wine is...

I want to have an open ended discussion with members of Traditional Theology who have a strong connection to, or are priests, deacons or readers/lectors/psaltis in, liturgical or semi-liturgical churches, like my friends @MarkRohfrietsch , @hedrick , @Pavel Mosko, @dzheremi, @GreekOrthodox...

I thought about posting this in Traditional Theology, but we have some new members who I think are interested in liturgics, who I am not sure are familiar with that forum. I would respectfully ask that if you aren’t familiar with lectionaries or are opposed to them, you post a separate thread...
