• W12138253 abstract "It is an honor to be in pulpit of this historic church. I am grateful to rector and to your parish historian for invitation to speak. It is an historic church, with an exceptional choir, located in a remarkable and historic town. I want to talk this morning about low churches. Americans know and esteem Christ Church, Alexandria, as an historic church-one that evokes atmosphere and values of early republic. But to Episcopal historians, Christ Church stands out for an additional reason-it stands out because it is an historically /OT/; Episcopal church. Low Episcopal churches often receive little recognition-perhaps because they seem to lack pizzazz. And so this morning I want to praise low churches and, specifically, to praise this historic Episcopal congregation for remaining faithful to its heritage. A preliminary comment: In church talk today, terms high and low are seldom used. A twentieth-century called the liturgical movement has influenced Lutheranism, Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, and other Christian traditions. By using information gained from early Christian liturgies and materials, liturgical seeks to reestablish spirit and forms of early Christian worship. And movement's discoveries about early Christian worship have tended to make low churches of Christianity higher and high churches lower. Thus most Episcopalians are now in some ways centrists. These days tensions in Episcopal Church revolve not around high church-low church conflicts hut rallier around such matters as sexuality. But two terms high and low are very much a part of church history and of history of this parish. And so let us look at those terms. What in Christianity is high? And what is low? Well, word high means important; word law means unimportant. The two words are especially applied to such things as ritual, solemnity, status and powers of clergy, and claims a church makes about itself. Any church with ritualistic, solemn, sacramental worship, any church that asserts that its sacraments and clergy are crucial to human salvation, is to that extent high. Conversely, lmu churches of Christianity tend to be less ritualistic, less formal, and less clerically-oriented. Ultimately, in fact, to be low church is to be less confident that a formal organization of Christians can teach without error truth that was in Christ Jesus. Low churches make high claims, but they generally make those claims not about church and its officials but rather about scripture. And so in Judeo-Christian tradition word mass is high, but term lord's supper is low. And word allar is high, while word table is low. Folded hands when going forward to receive bread and wine are high; hands at sides while walking forward are low. Genuflecting and making sign of cross are high; making no such gestures is low. Using incense in a service is high; experiencing arrhythmia of heart in presence of incense is low. Wearing elaborate clerical vestments is high; wearing black academic robes is low-and wearing civvies is even lower. If we were to continue comparisons, we would say that Jerusalem Temple is high, while synagogues are low. Church buildings viewed by faithful as houses where God especially resides are high; church buildings viewed by faithful as houses where people of God meet but where God is no more present than elsewhere on earth are low. Services that intend to inspire awe through ritual are high; services that intend to inspire conversion and Christian lifestyle through preaching are low. And an unshaven fellow in a t-shirt sitting in back pew with his sleeves rolled up and a cigarette tucked in his ear is... high, because higher one goes on Christian spectrum, less attire of laity during worship seems to matter. On other hand, lower one goes on same spectrum (with exception of some charismatic or non-denominational churches), more laity tend to dress up for church-perhaps because of their belief in priesthood of all believers. …" @default.
