Anglican Compline Service

[RevDrNorth]

Since this is the Non Catholic Forum I am posting this. Various Anglican groups have been mentioned here from time to time. This is a traditional Anglican group (Anglican Province of Christ the King). It has what would likely be considered valid (though illicit) orders since its principal consecrators had valid orders through the Polish National Catholic Church (which Rome recognizes).

In any case, if you click on the link you can listed to a Compline service at their seminary. Beautiful (including Latin).

Who knows…
If Rome recognizes the Traditional Anglican Communion (as has been requested), more Anglicans may come home to Rome and bring more conservative catholic faith into the church. Though I understand this is whay some Catholic Cardinals (one in particular) does not favor recognition (though supposedly B XVI does).

The St. Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Seminary, the seminary that my deacon son in law graduated from.

I got a healthy dose of Latin at Mass today. Doesn’t happen often.

Is he a permanent deacon or transitional?

Must have been wonderful to be part of the Mass at J. of Arimathea. I assume there are no electric guitars cutting loose at that seminary (at least not in chapel)

At one time, I thought transitional. Seems permanent, now.

I doubt there was an electric guitar on campus.

I think many of us Catholics are surprised to find out how “Catholic” certain strains of Protestantism are. Our closeness is something to be celebrated and built upon! I used to listen to sung Compline on a radio station out of a Lutheran college in Minnesota. Sadly, the station went off the air. But it is little discoveries like these that can give so much hope for full reconciliation and communion.

And I agree, many quarters of the Catholic Church could stand some reconnection with their roots. It would not be unlike our God to teach us some lessons through our separated brethren. (So often in the Bible God chose the “unlikely” to lead, preach, teach, and correct.

Let us pray as Jesus did, that we may all be one. Christ is not divided.

Blessings to you, Reverend.

Blessings to you as well!

You make a number of good points. Certainly, the beauty of traditional Catholic Mass is something to behold. I read an article in Christianity Today where it noted among Protestants (youth) there was a feeling that modern worship lacked depth. They went on to discuss how many were attracted to liturgical worship and the connection with history.
