As an outsider, I had been very impressed and thankful for Christ Church's stand against the ordination of Vicky Gene Robinson, and ultimately against theological drift. I followed the news of the development of AMiA and CANA. I started attending Christmas and Anglican services and special services at Christ Church and was uplifted by the glorious liturgy. As I read in Christian news outlets of the great cost that Christ Church and other
congregations paid to leave TEC, it deeply moved me. So, of course, I had to go to Archbishop Duncan's consecration. It was electrifying! (And John Wasson's arrangement of Praise My Soul the King of Heaven is my favorite rendition of one of my favorite hymns.)
Fast forward a few years, I'm not so much an outsider. I go regularly to the very early service, then join my husband later at another denominational church. I love going to women's gatherings and other monthly events at CCP and have developed some friensdhips.(I'm "Half-Anglican" as a priest friend in another city told me. 🙂) I've even attended a couple of ACNA events. And yes, went to CCP's 40th anniversary celebration recently. This is all because Christ Church took a stand two decades ago.
I praise God for your courage, leadership, and legacy, Father David. Thanks be to God!
This night was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had. Liz and I were seated deep back in the South Transept, so did not see the much of the amazing processional (although I still have a copy from Facebook that we enjoy regularly).
This experience was a needed reminder while faith and the church are under constant attack, there is great strength among the faithful.
Grateful ALWAYS to be in this procession and this holy day.

Thank you for your comments and for reading The Anglican. What a fun way to remember and record those important years.

PS: Wasson is an amazing talent!
Truly a gifted man.
Listening on repeat. Glorious!
What a blessed and beautiful way to start a Saturday or any day! Thank you so much!
It was a moment!
Wow! Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m so glad John King saved the recording. I listened to it twice more…. Brilliant.
Magnificent arrangement, so glad it was recorded.
I listened the other day when I found it. Wow! Music transported me back to 2009 and then some!
I was there.
What did you think of the processional? Organ, galore!
Corpus, near the coast. Oddly, I remember the meetings over in Ft. Worth more than the Consecration.
Where do you live?
