Say what you will, but it's more religious than plenty of things in "Voices Found."

[The Episcopal Church @iamepiscopalian]

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

@sinden It's the Genreal Conevntion's forte.

@sinden The H82 committee went with option A (see hymn 287), but we on the not GCLC are concerned with the inclusive language issue here, especially the implication that some distances are preferable to others.

As you see from this Episcopal Church tweet, recent scholarship has confirmed a long-held conjecture: that the Petrine epistles were in fact written by the editors of the BCP.

ATTENTION: LAST MINUTE ADDITION TO THE HYMNS AT TONIGHT'S CLOSING EUCHARIST #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

And with that, (not) the Liturgy Committee of the General Convention completes its work for this triennium. Time for us to get back to the floor and go back to pretending that the pigeon joke that every other deputy makes is still fresh! #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

Let's sing a hymn that's sure to bring the whole of the Episcopal Church together! #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

Yesterday, there was a "silent Song of Praise." But tonight, YOU GET TO SING THE SONG OF PRAISE IN ALL CAPS. #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

Tonight: Sit down and shut up. #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

@sinden To get around "bride," I suggest:

from heaven Christ came and sought it
to be in marriage yoked;
with Christ's own blood Christ bought it,
and for its life Christ croaked.

For tonight's final hymn, please welcome to the piano the one, the only, Paul Wittgenstein! #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

Don't forget to wear your leisure suit to tonight's liturgy! #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

"God of concrete, God of steel" is so 20th century. #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

Here at #gc79, we love hymns that start discussions by asking important questions. Questions like: Is this actually a hymn? Is there a reason it's barred in 6/4? And why should pigeons get all the press?

Call your senators and tell them that you support the nomination of Aidan Kavanagh to the Supreme Court! #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

@sinden If you say so.

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

The text of tonight's Sanctus might not be in the right order, but, hey, it's got some fun triplet rhythms! #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

It may look like we've misspelled "Alleluia" each time it appears, but just consider: that's 8 Ls times however many thousand bulletins. So with all the ink we've conserved, we might have just saved the planet. Same goes for the missing Ns in "Hosanna" later on. #gc79

[The Liturgy Committee of the General Convention @NotTheGCLC]

As you all know from BCP p. 583, "a distinct pause should be made at the asterisk." Please make sure this happens in tonight's psalm. #gc79
