So I asked the Rector for some pointers.<BR/><BR/>The Rector said, "You know, Daniel, there's only really one rule."<BR/><BR/>"What's that?" I said, leaning forward to capture his oracular wisdom.<BR/><BR/>"Don't ever, ever let go."Daniel Stoddarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084268720966975050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468413.post-43941916133638568552008-03-09T08:32:00.000-05:002008-03-09T08:32:00.000-05:00Interesting.

But they aren't "Zwinglian," so have no fear. Indeed, the entire phrase seems to capture the spirit of the legitimate "Via Media" quite well. In the first sentence, "the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ" is a strong statement of the Real Presence. The second sentence is evocative of the continental Reformed tradition's more receptionist stream (I believe Bullinger was an influence on Cranmer here, but I may be mistaken). Placed together they are a fine pair, IMHO!Texanglican (R.W.

The canons state essentially that lay persons (other than seminarians) may do the chalice in extraordinary circumstances. To do it on a regular basis one must be licenced by the Bishop.<BR/><BR/>Canon 24 Section 1 (f) A Lay Reader may, at the request of the Minister in Charge, who shall declare a need for such ministry in<BR/>writing, be licensed by the Bishop as a Lay Cup Bearer, and when so licensed, may assist in the distribution of the Cup, but only in the presence of and under the supervision of the supervising Minister.<BR/><BR/>Good job!! <BR/><BR/>Chip in VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
