FWIW that kind of stuff never cut much ice with me. I, truly, was the only person I ever knew who presided at a Eucharist which was celebrated entirely according to the 1928 BCP without any alteration or revision of any kind.

The most ferocious proponent of the 1928 Prayer Book known to me personally would have been horrified if she saw real live, sho' 'nuff 1928 worship.

It's all moot for me now anyway. Though I catch myself longing for the leeks, garlics, and fleshpots of Egypt, I know this darned mannah is the real deal, if it lacks something in culinary imagination. Better the bitter draught which heals than the sweet which deludes.

I don't think I understand...

Well, our local Anglo-Catholic church is still using the 1559 (1557?) BCP- you don't get much more authentic than that.

Could you explain this a little? We use the 1928 BCP. Do you believe that people in 1928 did things differently or that there is an "authentic" way of using the 1928 BCP that the Continuing Churches have missed?
