Looks like a few more from my old communion are coming across! I hope they bring some of the great old Anglican music, 'cause some Catholic quarters need all the help they can get.
Some, like the folks in this article, will be welcomed as new Catholics. Other decent Episcopalians will (I suspect) set up a separate entity linked with the Worldwide Anglican Communion.
The current masters and destroyers of the Episcopalian Church:
LOL..you ain't kiddin'. Recently I tuned in the BBC's web stream of Evensong...wow...quite a different beast than the insipid parish fare we usually are subjected to!
Two 'brides'!
Hopefully, the St. Clare Society becomes a full-fledged Anglican Use parish. Fr. Bergman attended the Anglican Use conference this year.

ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF SCRANTON TO RECEIVE FIRST ECUSA PRIEST
No fair! I'm trying to digest breakfast....
That picture is seriously evil.
Where's the Barkeepers' Friend and brillo pad for my eyes?
Thanks NYer. I posted to that thread; but follow it back to the original on VirtueOnline, and the original story dates from January 4. As far as I know, it's not new news.

01 Judy getting ready for the choir......
05 Checking out our NEW Catholic bibles..............
I'm a little disappointed with groom's bow-tie, however. A little too loud and it clashes with the fancy jacket. A plain bow-tie would be better with that jacket.
He certainly looks pleased with his "catch". And who wouldn't be?
What red-blooded male wouldn't want a piece of that action? The clerical collar and gray hair is just too much. What a turn on!
Which is the bride and which the groom?
How can one tell?
This was our communion anthem last Sunday: Tallis: Verily, Verily I Say Unto You
The offertory anthem was this: Faure: Cantique de Jean Racine, but hey, a little frog music never hurt anybody.
Byrd's "Bell Anthem" next Sunday . . . we sing a LOT of English music. You'd think that the ex-Episcopalians infesting the choir would have something to do with it, but the choirmaster (a cradle Catholic) LOVES English music . . . we just shout "AMEN!"
We had fled the ECUSA screaming before it was published, but you might say it confirmed us in our judgment that it was time to make tracks.
fabulous!!!!
1940 Hymnal all the way here at Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic (Anglican Usage) Church in Houston.
We also host an ecumenical choir group that is led by our organist/choir director, and that sings choral Evensong on the last Sunday of each month.
Hopefully we can next restore Sunday evening Benediction (a la the Brompton Oratory, and complete with birettas).
My current parish in Falls Church, VA is superb, but I will admit that if one or more solid Anglican-Use parishes appeared in Northern Virginia, I would be tempted to at least visit them on a regular basis! :) Must be the streak of the 1928 BCP still in me! :))
