  1. The Liturgist

    Greetings from "Sin City"

    Except it isn't that sinful. I recently moved to the greater Las Vegas area and am amazed by how many churches are here and how many people go to church. There is a problem however, and that is that there are not enough church services on Sunday evening or on weekdays, which does create...

    Treatment of the Diptych(s)

    [By this, of course, I mean the diptychs in a liturgical setting, not the common art term for icons and paintings set in a diptych (two-fold) arrangement.] The diptych was once a literal object kept in the local church, made of wax tablets onto which the names of the living and departed...

    Liturgy or Evangelical Sermon

    Howdy! I am curious to know which one do you prefer. I honestly prefer liturgy since it feels more traditional and worship-based (plus Communion). What do you think?

    The Athanasian Creed

    In celebration of Trinity Sunday instead of reciting the Nicene Creed some churches recite the Athanasian Creed. Given the confusion over the Trinity one wonders why it isn't recited more often (if it is recited at all)? Below is the text of the creed. WHOSOEVER will be saved, before all...

    Timing of Chasuble Vestment

    At Roman Catholic masses, I've noticed that priests usually vest fully, including the use of a chasuble, in the sacristy prior to the opening procession. At Episcopalian Eucharists, I've noticed that the priest often processes in and proceeds through the Liturgy of the Word with simply an alb...

    Anyone Know Any Modern or Progressive Christians Creeds?

    So, I often hear about parishes or congregations in various churches or denominations that replace the Nicene or Apostles creed in their liturgy with some sort of modern language or progressive creed that they've come up with or gotten from somewhere. In practice, I've never seen anyone...

    Nicene Creed in the Liturgy

    Please not this is not about the filioque or the version of the Nicene Creed It is also not about the position of the Creed in the Liturgy Since the third council of the Toledo in 579 there has been widespread use of the Nicene Creed in the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Western Church. I don't...

Both churches should look further along this path of incorporating what we...

    Adventism refuted by Orthodoxy

    The SDA faith is characterized by an extreme opposition to Roman Catholicism. The Pope is considered to be or to have been the Beast, almost all aspects of doctrine held by Rome are rejected, even including basics such as the date of Pascha, and so on. Now, all of this is predicated upon a...

    Awakening to Who We Are

    This doesn't come from a specifically Roman Catholic source, but I think it's within the bounds of Catholic spirituality, and our theology of baptism: http://www.episcopalcafe.com/speaking-to-the-soul-awakening-to-who-we-are/ I wanted to make sure I got something a little more edifying in with...
