A Potentially Important Decision

M and I have been thinking and figuring and have addressed the issue of what
to do on Sundays. That is, where the girls and I should attend. Being a
clergy spouse complicates things–and they only get more tangled since I
need to do discernment myself; to my mind it would be a clear conflict of
interests to seek discernment through any parish where M works. Add to that
the issue of her moving parishes every so often and our desire for a stable
worshipping community for the girls. So, I think the girls and I may join
the cathedral.

We went there for Evensong and Eucharist on Sunday; I hadn’t been to
Evensong in a while–not since leaving the North–and it was nice to hear
it. Both liturgies were Rite I which I also appreciated. Unfortunately, the
celebrant blew through the canon of the Mass as if it were a speed-reading
contest and in his haste managed to skip entirely over the Prayer of Humble
Access… Nevertheless, God was duly worshiped and we were both edified and
communed. We’re still exploring this, but this may be the best solution to
our dilemna.
