Holy, holy moments, words, candles, joys. Loved singing with you back in the day with Delcamp and others. My wife (for the first time) and I experienced Sunday L&C this year, zooming from NC to be guests 900 & 901, or so reported the usher. Thank you for your words that brought close memories from afar. 💒🎼
I held Robbe’s candle at the west door while he directed that opening moment. I have seen that clenched jaw several times. He could be fierce. Then you all would move into the aisle and I would give him his candle. It was easy after that.
Lovely moments of memory through the lens of Advent and All Saint's Chapel in confluence with today's truth, Courtenay. Thank you. I love the tonal train wreck of the Palestrina held in contrast with your nephew's lovely, pure voice.
Just yesterday I was at the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta for confirmation of a dear friend (one of the anthems was the Rachmaninoff "Bogoroditse Dyevo", fabulous) so I still have incense in my nose and the words of truth from the wild prophet John ringing in my ears. Our Bishop, like you poem, asked us to consider our response to this miraculous encounter with God.
Loved this Becky. I half expected as we watched remotely on Sunday evening that you would come forward to sing a solo! How wonderful you get to experience Sewanee again through the eyes of your son. That little nephew singing 🥰
His grandmother said he was the cantor at the early service but not at the evening one. Which one did you go to? Jack and his mom, Jenny, are going with our church choir to England on the 26th where they’ll be singing evensong at St. Paul's for a number of days. Jenny’s in the choir when Todd and Janet were!

Thank you, Rob. I'm forever grateful to you as well for your ministry, which got me through the pandemic.
A favorite: your nephew's voice and gap-toothed smile.
He is a treasure. Thank you, Carole. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful, Budd. Your very best.

The best! Thank you for this, dear Smith. May we lift our candles high.
Absolutely lovely. Those services were magical. I don’t remember the differing note because I wasn’t that good a musician just how joyous it all was.
I remember that joy, and sharing it with you, Lauren.
And you singing the first verse of Once in Royal David's City - pure heaven!!

There is nothing quite like Russian liturgical singing, is there? And that prophet John sure was a wild one! Thank you for all this, Ron.

It's all such a wonder. Peggy, do you know which tenor sang, "I look from afar!" this year? It was Jack, and he was outstanding!

Your writing here is so beautiful and a good reminder of things that are very precious, especially to remember and focus on, in Advent!
Thank you so much, dear Beryl.
Your connection to Sewanee and to your history there is a beautiful thing. I'm so glad you've kept that alive across these years.
I'd almost let it dry up. So grateful for being seized--or inhaled--back. Thank you as always, Janisse.
Love this
Thank you, Laura. Merry Christmas!
