I watched the replay for the Coronation , here statesside, a few days later.
I was at church SUnday Morning, the Priest mentioned it during the announcements, said "What an event, maks one feel good to be Episcopalian"
SO last night I watched the replay (not including the drive to and from the church, but the actual coronation) ...

all I cn say is

WOW

Like really

WOW

No words
Just feelings

I am an aestheticist, and watching that ceremony brought tears of happiness and joy from my soul....no words can describe the inspired beauty of what I saw.


Throughout my life, I have had people who cannot understand what draws me to the Episcopal/Aanglican tradition To the point that I no longer discuss it with people. Because language cannot express that which is so beatuiful that it points to the Divine in the way that that the liturgy does for me.

And the coronation, so beau tiful so loving of an expression that I could only watch in silence and awe at the aesthetic beauty inherent in the service.

I too was impressed; but was struck by how "High Church" the coronation was, and how "Low Church" the Eucharist was. I did like the fact that the Bishop faced the altar.

God Save the King!!
