Dear GSS,
Can you please advise on the best - if any - sources for Videos/DVDs/Downloads
of the Traditional Anglican (Western Rite) Solemn High Mass and/or the GSS
Office. I have found a few video downloads of RC Solemn High Mass and of course
there are some videos of the New (Post-Vatican II) Solemn Masses from RC
sources. The ones that Pope benedict did in his US visit were super, including
the one in Washington. However, although I have been to churches, in Washington
DC and Boston, that still celebrate a weekly SHM (Ritual Notes version) I do not
seem to find many (or any) videos.
Incidentally, you may not know that there are super and regular. video
broadcasts of services from Washington Cathedral - of all shapes and sizes of
services (including the - incorrect - use of incense, as well as the waving of
processional banners, which I refer to as "artificial incense" (my church does
this sometimes, too!). However, a lot of it is very beautiful. When I was in
Macedonia, I watched - on my laptop - the complete service of consecration, in
the Cathedral, of the Bishop of Maryland, by the (lady) Archbishop (presiding
bishop) of USA.
My wife and I also went, personally, to the Centenial service of the Cathedral,
as part of our Golden Honeymoon, celebrating our marriage - in 1957 - at St.
Mary Carisbrooke, Isle of Wight, where I have, also, around that time,
participated in the GSS Office, as a member of the IOW Chapter.
Sorry to bother you. The Peace of the Lord be Always With You.
With Universal Love, Support and Respect,
David C. Jones (Age 73)
