[Magdalen] End of an Era.

[Ann Markle]

OOps, sorry for incomplete send.  As I was saying....

It says pretty clearly in the BCP that HE is to be the main Sunday
service.  Therefore MP is unrubrical and not in compliance with the DDW of
TEC.  Bishops are usually pretty forgiving of small parishes who do this on
rare occasion because they can't afford supply clergy - but the policy of
the church is clear since the 1979 BCP.  One more reason people were
infuriated by "the new prayer book."
