Yes, it does. Although in the larger order of things this is miniscule at best, I miss the chant in Morning Prayer and am raising the issue of reinstating it -- the difficulties being:
1) By the APCK canons we only have Morning Prayer when we do not have a priest present, and
2) The percentage of our congregation who would know it is very small.

1) By the APCK canons we only have Morning Prayer when we do not have a priest present, and
2) The percentage of our congregation who would know it is very small. Two solutions: (1) chant may be used in the Eucharist for the Psalm (between OT and NT readings).
(2) the whole point of this article is that anybody can learn English chant. And believe me, anybody can. It is as logical as breathing in and out. It's even easier than Gregorian (and that's pretty easy). I like the 4 part English chant the best.
