[Magdalen] Funeral Service at Saint Martin's, Houston.

[cantor03 at aol.com]

There has been discussion of the place of flags
in the church setting in the past.  The oddest use
of flags I've ever seen is the custom at the Paris, France
TEC Procathedral.  This involves singing "My Country 'Tis of
Thee" at the offertory.  Two acolytes stand at either horn
of the high altar with TEC and USA flags dipped at a 45
degree angle during the singing.

A tiny detail that threw me off....in the retiring procession both the US
flag and the Texas flag were carried, but not the Episcopal flag. I've
never seen a state flag in procession, and these days very rarely the US
flag.
