O God, who didst in troublous times raise up thy servant Edward Pusey, that he might enlighten his brethren and stablish them in the Catholic Faith: mercifully grant that we, who honour his holiness and courage, may, like him, stand fast in that same Faith. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hymn singing is central to historic #Anglican worship and identity. Here we offer two updates on the earlier @ContinuingFwd suggestions for how to improve singing in small (or other resource limited) parishes. continuingforward.org/post/m…

Listening to "What Is Your Favorite Christmas Hymn, and Why?" via the @IssuesEtc podcast. We sang some of these hymns last night and this morning at @AoC_Lutheran. buff.ly/OS0NXnH
This year’s @ChoirOfKingsCam #ChristmasEve service of Lessons & Carols was a refreshing implementation of what has made it so great for more than a century. The new carol and less familiar pieces fit nicely with the old favorites. anglicanmusic.blogspot.com/2…
Everyone knows about the #Christmas Lessons & Carols, so here are thoughts about congregational singing at this year’s #Advent Lessons & Carols. anglicanmusic.blogspot.com/2…

#Covenant: The Daily Office is waking, walking, and dying with Christ. From the day's beginning to its close, we lay down our life and death in him. #Anglican #Episcopal #BCPhttps://ow.ly/fa4950XvTcM
For #Thanksgiving Day, here are a range of #Anglican and other hymns for giving thanks unto our God. However, it’s hard to beat “Now thank we all our God” by Lutheran pastor Martin Rinkart anglicanmusic.blogspot.com/2…
Pleased to be among 200 who witnessed my @nashotah STM classmate Jacob Robling be ordained a priest in the #Episcopal Diocese of San Diego

Why do students learn so much about the Egyptian pyramids and almost nothing about the great cathedrals that took far longer to build and were infinitely more complex?
This one took more than 600 years to build.

Decades after its founding @the_ACNA has two hymnals to choose from, plus two legacy hymnals. After cataloging the 1216 unique hymn texts and 1630 hymn-text pairings across these four hymnals, which hymnal is best for an #Anglican parish? Well, it depends. anglicanmusic.blogspot.com/2…

"If an ACNA parish is looking to replace an existing hymnal — and not every church should be looking to change — Sing Unto the Lord is the best replacement for Hymnal 1982..."

ALMIGHTY God, who gavest strength to thy servant, John Mason Neale, to serve thee and thy Church in manifold ways through many years of contradiction and adversity: give unto us such courage and fortitude, that we also may endure the Cross: and, despising the shame for the joy that is set before us, may bring forth abundantly the fruit of good works. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Worship Pastor Makes Praise Songs More Accessible By Removing All References To ‘God’ And ‘Jesus’ buff.ly/29Mxn18
To accompany the John 20 account of doubting St. Thomas, two 20th century and two 21st century #Anglican hymnals agree: the clear choice is John Mason Neale’s translation of a 15th century Latin hymn & its original tune: “O sons and daughters let us sing” anglicanmusic.blogspot.com/2…
Handel's Messiah: it's not just for Christmas, as Americans have recently used it. Instead, the complete work was premiered at Eastertide and its librettist thought it best suited for Holy Week #Easter anglicanmusic.blogspot.com/2…
