I had this theology for decades before I learned a) it wasn't just something I deduced from Julian's Showings and b) it had proper name and everything

The fog made this photo quite soft, leading to a painterly quality, but I like its Fall vibes.

*blink* Whoever thinks *Irish* immigrants didn't have their names changed has never looked at the difference between Irish surnames and the Anglicized versions.

Sopranos who don't want to do a descant? Are you sure they're really sopranos??

One of the best things in the TEC 1982 Hymnal is the little descant on this hymn!
