A Response to “On administering Holy Communion in a Time of a Plague”
This was sent to me and deserves a read. You can read the Calivas article here . We can all agree that we are living in unusual times. However, the nature and extent of the illness that we face, and the proper response of the Church, is a matter of much disagreement. We have seen various responses to the COVID-19 epidemic: calls to close our Churches as infectious vectors, and demands to open them as places of spiritual healing. Directives a) ordering the cessation of sacramental life as part of an effort to “flatten the curve,” and cries for access to the divine grace that flows forth from those very mysteries; b) calling for the restriction of “at-risk persons,” and serious questions about the validity of such controls, c) instructions to liturgists to wear personal protective equipment during the celebration of the divine services and the distribution of the holy Mysteries, and uncertainty about the fitness of such practices.

ReplyDeleteAbbaMoses, please keep them coming - funniest thing I have read all day 😀 :-)
ReplyDeleteIs this an RC or an "Orthodox" 'service'?
ReplyDeleteI am gonna go out on a limb here and say that I have a high degree of confidence that this is NOT Orthodox. Whether it is Roman Catholic or some flavor of liturgical Protestantism is an open question.

ReplyDelete2. How do they genuflect in this service?
Why? Just why? In ANY faith tradition.
ReplyDeleteSince people asked "Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio - Youth and Summer Camp Program"

ReplyDeleteAnd let all who thirst, let them come to the water....
ReplyDeleteIf this is really a supposed service, it tells you just about all you need to know about the Western world right now, and about the state of Episcopalianism. Those poor young people. Even more, our poor Lord. This is what people think is worship of Him? He deserves better.
