Episcopal Easter

Originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

We celebrated Easter with our friends in a local Episcopal congregation. The service was very formal, fairly stylized, and quite interesting to this family of Mormons.

My favorite part was the communion (which they allowed everyone to partake of). The priest blessed the wafer, then handed it to me. It was a nice personal moment, to hear his prayer as he looked directly into my eyes and gave me the ‘host.’ Quite unlike the Mormon tradition. And we were able to refuse the wine without any offense, too. :)

There was a gorgeous floral cross outside (pictured above). The kiddoes also participated in an Easter egg hunt and got some fun Easter treats. :)

A few pics of the kiddoes in all their Easter finery are now uploaded to flickr for you all to enjoy…

I attended an Anglican service on Thursday – an Easter service called “Maundy Thursday.” I loved it.

We were in this old church in Vancouver, it was pouring outside, and inside the choir sang beautifully. So professionally and spiritually. The minister gave a talk which quoted Karen Armstrong heavily. One of the ministers had a mohawk. And then those that wanted to participated in a ceremony in which they washed each others feet. Very cool and different.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
