[QUOTE="JohnClay, post: 74349636, member: 167067"] This year's Maundy Thursday service on April 18 was also significant - The first song was "A New Commandment"! (Maundy Thursday's special song - which wasn't played in 2018) For the last verse or so there was a technical problem - the words weren't displayed on the screen and then the congregation, including me, sung the rest of the words because we knew them. Then they put up the words for the song and we all sang the whole song a second time! I think the words we sung were the original words ("shall all men know") but the video file the pastor gave me was non-sexist: "by this shall all know" Then I also found: "by this shall others know" [MEDIA=youtube]oTOqk5GxV-c[/MEDIA] Those two main songs from last year also had different versions for the service and when I looked on Youtube related to sexism vs inclusive language. Lately I've been having theological discussions with a female Anglican priest. Sometimes when reading the Bible for Bible study she uses inclusive language instead of reading the original sexist words. I had thought the very common theme of the songs having two or more versions (three versions for "A New Commandment") has become meaningful in light of the priest's views. She seems to quite like my book: [URL='https://uncensored-christmas.sky-walker.net/']An Uncensored Guide to the Christmas Stories[/URL] Before that I just thought the different versions were interesting but just a meaningless coincidence. Also in the service they played this video of John 13: [MEDIA=youtube]-EBEm7aOXU4[/MEDIA] An odd related thing I noticed in that video was at 7:40 a woman has a moment with Jesus but they say nothing which explains why the Bible doesn't seem to mention it. This is on one of the Maundy Thursday slides: At some point in the future that might apply to me - but if it had said that I believed Jesus physically rose from the dead then that might not ever be the case. Then at the end of the service there was a stripping of the table and "silent prayer". Sometimes people end up talking at the end - I can't remember what happened this year. [/QUOTE]
