Western Rite
Dear Brothers in Christ,

I have been following this discussion with interest. It does not seem to me that the Liturgy of St. James is as far away from the experience of Anglicans as the rites used by the Byzantines.

Perhaps, at the present stage of growth, it would, as Peter suggests, be wise to stay as things are; but it does raise the question as to whether a western rite might eventually become a possibility.

On the other hand, as more come to experience St. James, then it too may become as beloved as the old BCP is to so many of us. It is certainly vastly to be preferred to the 'Oi God!' services common in so many Anglican Churches.

In Christ,

John

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)
