Nuts and Bolts of Liturgy
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
7:00 - 8:30 pm in the church.
Why do Anglicans do the things we do in liturgy? In this hour-and-a-half class Fr. Eric Dudley will answer the questions everyone asks: Why do we wear vestments? Why do we cross ourselves? Why do we bow our heads when the cross passes in procession? What does the Eucharist really mean? These and dozens of other questions will be dealt with in a real show-and-tell teaching about worship in the Anglican tradition. Great for newcomers, but equally helpful for longtime Anglicans who want a deeper appreciation of worship.
