From S. Barnabas Jericho, Oxford

Fr Timothy Matkin said...: That's "Pious and Overly Devotional," for the uninitiated.; 8:46 PM
Anonymous said...: Very nice, but if the deacon had learnt the basic but important technique of kicking the skirt of his (cassock, I trust, and) alb over his right shoe as he knelt, it would have been a perfect POD moment.; 10:14 PM
Coppermouse Dolls said...: Is that Deacon Lyle Lovitt???; 2:20 AM
Adam said...: Two questions:

1. That's an Anglican parish, right?

2. Why is the priest wearing a chasuble for a Eucharistic Procession?; 10:08 PM
Fr Timothy Matkin said...: Adam,

1. Yes, an Anglican parish (Church of England.

2. I'm not sure. It seems to me that the color should also be white or gold rather than green. Of course, in our communion these things are a matter of custom rather than law.; 2:55 PM
Fr Timothy Matkin said...: Perhaps it was a wardrobe malfunction.; 11:01 PM
Anonymous said...: The deacon was me, and if you had to move up and down at the top of a precipitous flight of steps such as those, you would take the same measures to avoid keeling over, I'm sure!
We were wearing green because it was a Sunday after Trinity, and we had the procession because it was the nearest Sunday to Corpus Christi.; 9:01 AM
