Part of A World Tour of Anglican Liturgies

The three liturgies in this series are an attempt to dip into the differences between the American Prayer Book services and those of other parts of the world, or of the Christian church. Such differences highlight differing attitudes or varying cultural slants.

While the lections are listed on the covers of the New Zealand and the Nassau and the Bahamas leaflets, the lections for the Church of South India celebration of the Lord’s Supper are from Year B, Proper 28, NRSV, Revised Common Lectionary.

An added note concerning the Nassau and the Bahamas mass, is that it’s a fullout “smells and bells” celebration, which requires some preparation of acolytes and other altar personnel, as well as having incense and a sanctus bell on hand.

Note too that the Church of South India liturgy makes use of flowers . . .

perhaps not surprisingly.

Thanks to the 5:00 pm Saturday worshiping community at Grace Episcopal Church, Traverse City, Michigan, USA.
