To have been able to be immersed in the whole of the Liturgy for 3 days was a great blessing. An antiphon from Michaelmas now haunts certain recesses of the halls of memory, taunting me with its (now elusive) melody every now and again.Marco da Vinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092410765851812842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-717161158806023322015-03-02T10:31:02.481+00:002015-03-02T10:31:02.481+00:00As an Anglican in the High Church tradition before...As an Anglican in the High Church tradition before our reception into the Church in 1961 my husband often visited Nashdom with a friend.
