<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We omit the creed and the confiteor at our
services, and communion is by the take and dip method - sometimes even the take
and do your own dipping method with the chalice on the altar.<BR><BR>When I went
home a few weeks back, the priest there advised that we wait for the new bishop
- the current one will retire soon.<BR><BR>Will things actually change? Where I
live, 99% of people do not have English as their primary language, and probably
more than 50% cannot speak English at all. If I leave rural Africa, will I find
urban Africa any different? The bishops conference may go along with the pope,
but in my last city, there was no Latin Mass, period, unless you went to the
SSPX chapel. I have seen our bishops do too much just to be politically
expedient, that I don't really trust them much.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can't help feeling negative about the whole
thing. I saw a church in Johannesburg the other day with big red letters
over the door saying "Holy Trinity Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church" ... if
they can have their own liturgy here, why can't we have our historical
one? Till now, as far as I am aware, no traditional Mass was available on
a regular basis - it was restricted to certain funerals, individual cases.
The Eastern liturgies I've been to have been beautiful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm too young to have ever been to the old Mass,
but I'd love to have one regularly available.</FONT></DIV>
