Ixnay on the Oxvay Eiayday, OK?
Amy Welborn is still collecting weekly reportage on liturgical practices throughout the world. Very interesting. I would have written more in the comments, but can’t afford to lapse into apoplexy so close to work time. Suffice it to say I was able to vent a little spleen over the disconnect between outstanding preaching and fair to middling music. (I believe I came close to letting fly with something about our current setting for the Agnus Dei. It makes my hair stand on end. It sounds like a Barry Manilow tune...more appropriate for a personal hygiene or household cleaning product. We’re singing about the Lamb of God here folks, not the Snuggle teddy bear. Hellooo.

I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?
I’d like to speak some words. Really. Which is why I am better off not immersing myself in songs written in the vox dei, lest I become confused.
