[Magdalen] End of an Era.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Well we all know that each dio tends to have its own flavor, shall we say? And anyone who is reading the HoB/D list can see how even vitally important requirements enshrined by GC vote often get lost, shall we say, on the way to local implementation. 
Just sayin' after just observin'

It says pretty clearly in the BCP that HE is to be the main Sunday

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."
