Yes, I could serve that way; but I never got used to it, even as a subdeacon. <BR/><BR/>As to the solo Eucharist thing? I'm with you-- not even once. That's one of the things the Offices are good for.

I was going to remedy that, no matter what. But I had three things the helped out with that plan (in no particular order):<BR/><BR/>1) The church furnace went out and we moved services to the parish hall.<BR/>2) While in the parish hall, I used a folding table as the altar and faced the congregation. When we moved back into the church, they were used to seeing me that way.<BR/>3) I'm the rector.<BR/><BR/>Oh -- I like the new layout.Reverend Ref +https://www.blogger.com/profile/12608521436386973234noreply@blogger.com
