[Magdalen] Two to go

[ME Michaud]

Our subdeacons were always laypeople. My sense was that the
subdeacons worked to make sure the laity were always represented
in the altar party.

Once a female seminarian suggested to the priest of the parish to
which she was assigned that she fulfill the deacon's role, setting
the elements on the table. I think she was still bouncing when she
passed over Plymouth and the Cape Cod Canal.
