I like to check the escape route before giving some announcements and particular sermons, particularly sermons based upon St Paul's writings. |

Derek The Celebrant is of superior rank and status and so is served (i.e.waited upon) by others. Altar servers who can't hold a book for a few minutes (barring any disability of course) need to buck up and do some exercise. As for obstructing the view of the Celebrant - we are not really interested in that. Our eyes should be lifted upwards to heaven and/or the Crucifix above the High Altar.

I prefer to see the face of cleric reading it rather than the back of the head of someone holding the Book and also not be distracted whether the child server may drop it. (correction of typing error) Edited by Derekap, Thursday, 25. June 2009, 14:20.

Once on a very hot sunny Sunday morning the emergency door was open to improve ventilation. After the celebrant retired into the sacristy a magpie flew in, perched on the edge of the pulpit and looked around at us all before leaving us in disgust. |

Members sometimes complain about things happening in church of which they do not approve and give the impression they are peculiar to recent years. The Tablet website last Friday is more comprehensive than usual. Among the items is a reprint of a Reader's Letter published a hundred years ago. It complains that he was tapped on the shoulder during a solemn part of The Mass and asked if he had paid for his seat. In the late 1940s, after my demob, I visited a friend in the Greater Manchester area; when we entered the church there was a row of tables and a man standing behind each one keeping an eye on the money and, if need be, give change. Only the turnstiles were missing. (Moderators have my permission to move this item) |
