This is a perfect way to begin a day. Seeing the wonderful rapport between the two of you reminds me that a smile and humor can go a long way to a joyful heart.
Do the members of the Executive Committee cast votes in Lent Madness? Or do they only vote in the unlikely event of a draw?
Why was William Byrd included? I could see it if his hymns were still in the hymnal being used. How did he influence the Church?
Tim and Scott, Another fun season of Lent Madness. How many people are participating this year and has it increased in popularity?
To answer and earlier comment: I'm not sure of my vote but William Byrd contributed some of the finest church music to our music-rich church. His motets anthems and masses are among the most beautiful music produced by the English Renaissance. Byrd's "Mass for Four Voices," parts of which are sung often in our churches, is a wonderful example. Some 'Madness' voters may feel a connection to him, in that commentators have heard in his music, which spanned the times of Roman to Protestant established churches in England, a hidden mourning for the passing of the High Church.
Will George be making a future auditory appearance to reply to what Daisy said?
I educate myself about feast days by reading “Forward Day by Day”, Googling the saint of the day, and then hearing more on the cathedral’s YouTube “Morning Prayers and Reflections”. I am particularly interested in the female saints who boldly, for God, went against males, fathers, husbands, etc. who told them how to live their lives i.e. forced marriages, unable to serve in the church (other than make muffins for coffee hour!), etc. Thank you for this fun opportunity to learn more. BTW: My eldest daughter is Kateri, named after St. Kateri. My great aunt. a Massachusetts Wampanoag named her. I am a Massachusetts native. Grace Episcopal Church, Everett. Five generations…and now it’s closed. Sad. Now I’m at Redeemer, Baltimore.
