I came away feeling that I should not have bothered. Liturgy of the Word Narration of the Passion by the Catholic Priest Part of Christ spoken by the Anglican Vicar. General Intersessions. Paraphrased to suit the mixed assembly. For the Church was a prayer for the men and women who lead and guide our churches. No Prayer for the Pope No Prayer for Christian Unity. No Prayer for those preparing for Baptism No Prayer for the Jewish people. Then to crown it all No Holy Communion. About 150 people attended. Most of whom I know as Catholics. I did not enjoy our Good Friday Liturgy. Would we be better with no Liturgy if such compromises have to be made? In nomine Patris MacAlban.

MacAlban your posting highlights the drawbacks of sharing church premises. We are CATHOLICS. Our liturgies must not be diluted. Today I was unable to get to any church. At three o'clock I tuned in to Radio 4 and listened to a narration of the passion, as experienced by Mary Magdalen. It was the best I could do, and it was done very well.
