    Psalms in Song

    I am reading through the Psalms throughout the year and love to hear or sing hymns based on the words of the Psalm. I’d like to propose that we share songs of Psalms based on the Psalms we may be reading each day, or a Psalm that particularly touches you. Today, my reading plan has Psalms 101...
  2. The Liturgist

    Beautiful churches, vestments, sacred music and liturgies

    There have been some unpleasant threads lately for those of us in the Traditional Theology community, and it occurred to me it might be quite nice to invite my friends who participate in this forum, who include but are not limited to @MarkRohfrietsch @public hermit @concretecamper @prodromos...

    Happy Palm Sunday

    A Fantastic Article on the Liturgy

    Christ is Risen! Blessed Paschal octave to every Catholic who observed Pascha yesterday! (I know there are some Eastern Catholics on older calendars still preparing for the high holy days). Given the "qurantine," I spent most of the Triduum following the Supreme Pontiff's liturgical...

    Any Faithful and Welcoming / Traditional Congregationalists?

    Hey everyone, I am a traditional Congregationalist minister. In the past I have been involved with the Faithful and Welcoming Group in the UCC, although with my current church plant in the Las Vegas area I am looking to probably affiliate with the CCCC. However, I do still really love the...

    Trying to find a church in small town

    Hello all, A few years ago I moved to a small town in Alaska and haven't been able to find a church that feels right for me. The only way to leave town is by boat or plane so I can't just try churches in the next town over. I was a member of an Episcopal church in my hometown, but this...

    The traditional Catholic, Brother Peter Dimond of the Most Holy Family Monastery, called into this Saturday's "reason and theology" LIVE YouTube show to confront Dr Robert Fastiggi on his claim that protestants and the orthodox are within the body of Christ. Br Peter enters the discussion at...

    What unites (most) traditional churches (EO, OO, RC) together, musicologically: The Octoechos

    Being a member of one of the only two traditional churches which does not use the octoechos/8 mode system common to traditional Christian liturgical singing (the other church being that of the Orthodox Tewahedo Ethiopians and Eritreans who have their own Zema system credited to St. Yared in the...

    Where do I fit in with liberal/conservative?

    Both speaking politically and Christianity, where could I fit in the categories of liberal and conservative Christianity? I can respect conservatives more than liberals or the left, but there are certain parts to either side that I disagree on. It seems like if you identify as politically or...

    Shrines

    (Based on information given in a thread elsewhere) In Christianity, small shrines are erected to commemorate an event or person, honoring a vow, or to accompany travelers on the way. Here are some small shrines called "Proskynitaria." This word comes from the verb "proskyneo" which means I...

    Anglican or Catholic or Orthodox?

    Hi! I'm stuck deciding between these three Churches. I like the Catholic Church but I do have some concerns. One is that it seems to have become more liberal in appearance, even if not in doctrine, since Vatican II. I would much prefer a Mass in Latin or at least a Mass without contemporary...

    Glad to be part of the non-denominational Church and not the Traditional

    Recently left the traditional church for a non-denominational church. It is so refreshing to see the emphasis placed on the preaching of God's word and evangelizing to the unsaved in the community. I found the traditional church to get so caught up in their legalistic traditions and ways they...
