Perhaps we've never prayed it like he suggests since the time of Latin, but is it the case that the cadence we are all so used to was at other times quite different?

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

Do we know much about differences in cadence or manner of praying the BCP services in the time before they could be recorded? I often wonder whether the rhythm of both corporate and priestly prayers that we take for granted was ever different?

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

Which is to say, 'O Lord *Holy*, Father almighty, everlasting God'. He calls for celebrants to unite in rebellion and restore the punctuation. It's a small change, but would be a very noticeable and even jarring shift in the only way I have ever heard the service prayed.

@benjamindcrosby This part of it is like baiting God to enter the room and then spitting in His face.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

@benjamindcrosby It’s actually all just rather embarrassing.

Do you have a link and approximate time code for when this is all discussed at GS?

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

@JVanMaren @cdnusboy Thanks for mentioning MacLeod! Absolutely worthy of the mention.

@gerrylynch I am not sure I recall ever not hearing it when I've sung the hymn here in Atlantic Canada.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

For many years the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec sold this postcard in their gift shop (maybe still available).

It wasn't until decades later that we realized that the man and woman kneeling are actually my Grandmother and Uncle, both deeply devoted to St. Anne.

@mjjhoskin @nic_lucc That all said - I do 100% agree that this is just psy-op propaganda from Big-Oikoumene to ease the transition for the inevitable merge with the UCC.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

@nic_lucc @mjjhoskin Which, for me, is a hopeful thing because it means that the validity and truth of what is happening in my parish doesn't depend on the truth, orthodoxy, or righteousness of the GS of the Anglican Church of Canada©.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

@nic_lucc @mjjhoskin Perhaps it's an intended reference, but it reminded me of the Calvin quote abt the church being found wherever the Word is preached & sacraments administered. I took it to be less apt congregationalism, and more about the >C<hurch's presence in every parish.

Very sad. There are many causes - such as high energy prices and Labour’s tax on jobs but there is something even bigger. In Tesco you can buy Chinese made plates which look unnerving like Denby - knock-offs effectively - at a fraction of the price.

We continue to delude ourselves that ‘free trade’ is fair trade. It isn’t and the long-term costs to our society of this wanton de-industrialisation is devastating.

@anglochog I was crushed, last time I was in London, when I made my way over there to get a glimpse only to find that it was in use by an orchestra and I wouldn't have time to properly see it.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

Here on Prince Edward Island it is fairly common to see not only cars left unlocked in parking lots, but often in colder months unlocked and left running while the owners run into the store for something.

[Fr. Timothy Matkin @FrMatkin]

I don't understand why so many people not only leave their car unlocked, but also leave their door wide open while pumping gas.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

@cdnusboy @benjamindcrosby @sarahjoykillam Rare for it to happen in Summerside!

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

Blessed and grateful to be having Anglican-Twitter OG, @benjamindcrosby, celebrating and preaching in our Parish on Sunday - but sadly doing so in my absence! Get yourselves to Summerside this Sunday! Been a blessing to have him and @sarahjoykillam about the Parish this May.

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

@theodoresomes What did you use?

[The Rev'd Colin Nicolle @SummersideVicar]

Wonderful to make new friends!

@WalkerMarcus @RamsdenVerity @prayerbook_soc We hope that the document containing the extensive marginalia will be shared online!
