Highlights from this afternoon's liturgy class:
We practiced censing the gospel book. Swinging a brass container of burning incense around on a chain is highly entertaining. I didn't even bonk the book or the person holding it when it was my turn. We don't use incense at St. Ned's, so for now this is filed under Fun High Church Stuff That Is Dangerous To Carpet.
Then we practiced singing, mostly the suffrages from Evening Prayer. They're responsive; the cantor sings one line, and the congregation responds. Ideally, you use the break when you're not singing to breathe in so that you can get through the entire next line on one breath.
Or, you can just get confused and stop breathing altogether, because you're so focused on singing something that might be close to the correct tone. And then the room starts getting all swimmy and you have to sit down.
Note to self: breathe.
