I’ll be 40 years old. I just want a moment to lie down.

this is an especially odd change to make if the rector won't be there for much longer.

Bishop Dietsche of NY prohibited it. I believe Bishop Heyd is fine as long as all ordinands agree to it.

God be with you is the authorized form, which is funny as that's the exact etymological origin of goodbye.

Hey, sorry. I’m not sure what hair you think I’m splitting. I’m pro both in pastoral situations where consuming large amounts of consecrated alcohol is problematic.* The prayer book allows for neither.

*consecrating the right amount is best practice but hard in big services.

ACNA to Try Bishop on Mishandling Abuse Charges - The Living Church According to three bishops who brought charges against him, the bishop did not initiate an investigation into allegations for nearly two years after hearing of a 9-year-old’s abuse.

Many pastoral situations where there is an impediment to reverent consumption. Not to speak of the cases of child abuse involving the consumption of sacramental wine.

This is not intended to be "should we be using piscinas?" discourse. People use them. People pour wine on the ground. TEC's own publishing arm endorses this practice. So maybe we should agree to the licitness of the practice at GC?

someone really should tell Church Publishing

Consecrating the right amount is really challenging when you’ve got 200 people on the regular.

I really just want us to be able to use a piscina or pour consecrated wine on the ground without going against the BCP. I’m not scrupulous but I’m fewer than 150 days away from vows to conform to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the church!

I don’t think “we just ignore that one” or “the bishop said I could ignore that one” are the right approach to rubrics we don’t think work for us.

Well, it doesn’t establish a pattern for Sunday worship. I’m really more concerned with what we do with consecrated wine. I think our rubrics should probably reflect our practice.

so other than one liturgy a year?

yes

I'm very much in favor of ways to reverently return consecrated elements, especially with pastoral considerations around alcohol consumption. It seems there should he something done at GC to explicitly allow for this.

Liturgy/GC nerds: The BCP rubrics in additional instructions don’t allow for reserve sacrament other than for deacon’s mass/communing the sick, nor the use of a piscina or pouring out for consecrated wine.

Did we pass anything at GC since 1979 to allow for these practices? 📕

Massive institution run by men gets run into the ground in some profound way ➡️ figurehead resigns so people will stop yelling at him ➡️ First Woman Figurehead is appointed to the impossible task of uniting and cleaning up an institution whose wounds have been left to fester for decades/ centuries.

That is not our polity. Rejecting a supreme global religious leader was kind of our origin story.
