The Anglican Mass/Eucharist is, by definition, not Tridentine, as Trent was the Council of the Counter-Reformation. The Book of Common Prayer used the English Sarum Rite, the English language, the principles of the Benedictine Hours, and a measure of Reformation theology.Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-21187349024571424402013-10-14T11:58:50.833-07:002013-10-14T11:58:50.833-07:00As beautiful as the Anglican Mass is (usually much...As beautiful as the Anglican Mass is (usually much better than you'll find in most Roman churches), I much prefer the simpler and less ornate celebration of the 1928 BCP or the EPUSA 1979 rite. The Anglican Mass still looks more Roman than Rome and anything but a part of the Anglican patrimony.<br /><br />The 1979 "novus ordo" liturgy of the EPUSA or "Common Worship" used in Britain are perfect for both Roman Catholics and Anglicans. It's contemporary with appropriate bows towards Cranmerian tradition and the Byzantine liturgy without leaning too heavily toward the more florid and annoyingly tedious eastern rites . It's a far better liturgy in every respect than the Pauline, Roman novus ordo of 1970..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-37187152035931775752010-07-28T07:20:44.398-07:002010-07-28T07:20:44.398-07:00Thom, thanks for the info and for your comment.

Our Bishop always delivers his homily at the congregation level as well. We also always receive Communion at the altar rail, but not all Anglican churches do.<br />I have never attended an Anglican high mass and would like to experienc that one day, but I am not sure it is something I would enjoy on an ongoing basis. Sorry, but it feels too "Catholic" for me.Margnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712013839596084449.post-25351189240392909652010-07-27T20:36:17.338-07:002010-07-27T20:36:17.338-07:00Many, many Anglican churches do that with the Gosp...Many, many Anglican churches do that with the Gospel.
