Subversive Undercroft

We talk about the changes brought by COVID, we learn the name of some cloth hangings and we talk about how the hymn "I the Lord of Sea and Sky" (aka "Here I am Lord") makes us cry and why we love it so.

Be Thou My Vision, Jaimie Jorge

Stump the Priest Theme, Kristin Burkholder

Veni, Sancte, Spiritus

We remember some good work we did in the past, then we ask why is the psalter in the BCP different from the one in most bibles before finally looking at one of Lisa's favorite hymns.

 

Hymn Lyrics

Lord of all hopefulness,Lord of all joy,Whose trust, ever child-like,no cares could destroy, Be there at our waking,and give us, we pray,Your bliss in our hearts,Lord, at the break of the day.Lord of all eagerness,Lord of all faith,Whose strong hands were skilledat the plane and the lathe, Be there at our labours,and give us, we pray,Your strength in our hearts,Lord, at the noon of the day.Lord of all grace,Your hands swift to welcome,your arms to embrace, Be there at our homing,and give us, we pray,Your love in our hearts,Lord, at the eve of the day.Lord of all gentleness,Lord of all calm,Whose voice is contentment,whose presence is balm, Be there at our sleeping,and give us, we pray,Your peace in our hearts,Lord, at the end of the day.

What Wondrous Love is This, Sounds Like Reign

Teen fandom, the "proper" way to sing a hymn, plus we look at #416 from Hymnal '82; For the Beauty of the Earth. 

 

For the Beauty of the Earth (with Jon's animal blessing 3rd verse)

 For the beauty of the earth,

for the glory of the skies,

for the love which from our birth

over and around us lies.

Lord of All, to thee we raise

this, our song of grateful praise.

 

For the wonder of each hour

of the day and of the night,

hill and vale and tree and flower,

sun and moon and stars of light,

Lord of All, to thee we raise

this, our song of grateful praise.

 

For the joy of furry love,

Scaly, feathered, lizards too,

friends on earth, and friends above,

the love we share comes from You,

Lord of All, to thee we raise

this, our song of grateful praise

Also, just FYI The Nicene Creed describes the church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic (see BCP, pp. 358-359). These four characteristics are the notes, or marks, of the church. The church is to be “notable” or distinguishable by its unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity.

We begin by marveling at the inappropriateness of most teen culture from the 80's (AND BEFORE!). And then we continue our journey through the catechism and talking about what might await us on the other side of death plus a little detour into the place of the Bible in the life of faith.

We start with a plug for our northern neighbors before talking about what our deaths might bring; heaven, hell, or something else altogether?

 

Plus, we apologize for Jon's sound quality - microphone issues :(
