  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey Chalice_Thunder does your parish chant the Gospel?

I have been to a local Jacobite Orthodox Church and they chant the Gospel, it is incredible. I know that Glen's church does as well but I don't believe anyone on our diocese does. Considering the size of the dioecese that actually surprisese me.

We do on rare occasions. It's been awhile.
One of our Deacons is a great singer, but she doesn't want to chant the gospel.

Of course we chant the Passion on Good Friday.
(Reminds me of GF 3 years ago. I sang Pilate, which is the higher of the tones. I played a bell to give the Narrator the pitch, and he completely missed it and started WAY too high. On his first note, my head whipped around at him with a look of terror on my face. The result was my Pilate sounded like a castrato!)

By the way, I never meant to imply that there is anything wrong with SAYING the psalms. I think it's just preferred for them to be sung.

Gotta admire your ability to adjust. I on the other hand am uncomfortable with anything that has a range of more than 4 notes.LOL
