ON USING RITE 1

Just a trivial observation. My parish is using Rite 1 during Lent. We can not seem to get the hang of passing the peace. Being the last Sunday before Palm Sunday, we seem to have finally settled into this:

"The LORD be with you.
And also.... with thy Spirit."

Thank you for this delightful post. I am a member (22 years) of a 1928 BCP parish (no passing of the peace), but I often worship at diocesan gatherings, where Rite II is the norm. It's getting so I have to pay close attention to the book I'm in if I don't want to embarrass myself in one place or the other.

Also, thank you for your comment on Stand Firm re hamburger and the PB's Easter message. Maybe the orthodox should all flood the hamburger stands on Earth Day to let our leaders know we're tired of shoddy, condescending, worldly “theology.”

Have a blessed Holy Week and Easter.
