My home parish is an excellent one, a vast cut above the usual AmChurch airplane-hanger-lets-just-party-for-"mass" mess. There are no Anglican-Use parishes in Northern Virginia. But if there was one, especially like the one you describe, I'd certainly go to it once in a while, maybe even consider moving to it. In my limited experience with Byzantine Rite Catholic parishes, the reverent silence before and after Divine Liturgy is incredible.
I suppose I fuss about all this because last weekend I was in Solomons, MD and atteneded "mass" at a parish there that hit every hot button I have - the kindest thing I'll say about the place is that I met my Sunday obligation there and that is all. I'm used to leaving my home parish refreshed, nourished and strengthened.
Wow! You too!
I was at a dog trial last weekend over an hour from home, which meant that in order to meet my Sunday obligation I had to attend a church about 2 miles from the show venue.
The place was NUTTY! The architecture was that bizarre modern "church in the round" stuff, the music was ultra-modern Haugen/Haas repetitive nonsense, the priest acted more like an MC at a game show -- eek.
And to think that I'll pretty much HAVE to attend there whenever we have a two day dog trial . . . well, I guess it's my cross to bear. At least the dog gets to stay in the parking lot, she would howl if she had to listen to that music . . .
