[Magdalen] Two to go

[Grace Cangialosi]

I'm showing my ignorance of Anglo-Catholic liturgy here, Scott, since I'm
not even sure what a subdeacon does, but does there have a to be a
subdeacon at every service? Couldn't you sit out a service or two, since
you're the only one?
 I know we are sometimes short a position or two--LEM or acolyte, etc., and
we either draft someone or do without, and the service doesn't suffer. And,
of course, most of our churches don't have deacons at all, except during
that "transition" time after seminary graduations.
Just wondering...

It's a good thing Mary didn't have to wait for a Doctrine of the
Incarnation
before she said "Yes" to God.
