It so completely violates the rubrics of Elizabeth's prayer book, rubrics that were carried over into 1662. I have been meaning to pull out my map of Britain and locate the place just to know what bishops and archdeacons failed in their duty.<br /><br />The modern arrangement is not much better since it appears to be arranged for a celebration facing the people. <br /><br />Bad attitude on my part, I guess, but I have never had much use for puritans and that sort.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313295143497097608.post-24515734198550279962010-01-02T15:48:56.124+00:002010-01-02T15:48:56.124+00:00Yes Deerhurst is still more or less intact.
