I have an ongoing goal to show that actual conversations happen on Twitter. I like to think of Twitter as the online version of a great coffee shop where great conversation can happen. So this afternoon on Twitter a group of us started talking about Eucharistic Prayers.
-
Eucharistic Prayer A: Eucharistic Prayer B: Eucharistic Prayer C: Eucharistic Prayer D: Disclaimer: This … tmblr.co/ZA-KjtY1uxFt
-
@BCPYouth I use them all, but many Churches do seem to revert to A a lot.
-
@theologybird I personally like D the best, but alas, what can we do?
-
@BCPYouth I Love D! Would use it more if ppl didn’t comment on the length. (I know. I know.) We’re working on it.
-
@theologybird Such a beautiful service! The longer the service, the better! #ChurchAllDayErryDay
-
@BCPYouth no arguments from me. But some ppl need a ramp up into such a life. #pastoralconcerns
-
@theologybird @BCPYouth A is the most basic, and the shortest, but I *love* both B & D. And EP2 in EOW.
-
@GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth A is ‘almost’ Rite 1 in Rite 2 language. And they did some good stuff in EOW
-
@BCPYouth @theologybird I actually really like C! #dontjudge
-
@GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth Wish we’d authorize another responsive Eucharistic prayer in the style of C but with the language of D
-
@cmccarson @BCPYouth Me too. (Glances over shoulder) most participatory. Love that.
-
@theologybird @BCPYouth Agreed. Love the additional congregational responses.
-
@theologybird @BCPYouth When I write Eucharistic Prayers, I like to spread out the speaking parts – even the deacon says something!
-
@GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth I love a deacon at the table.
-
@theologybird @GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth No one likes Prayer C but me. I love “Earth our island home”. Ah, the Star Trek Eucharistic Prayer!
-
@GodWelcomesAll @theologybird @BCPYouth I love the line: By his blood, he reconciled us. By his wounds, we are healed. Really beautiful
-
@cmccarson @GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth it’s hard to beat Isaiah. Even sounds good in English
-
@cmccarson @GodWelcomesAll @theologybird Probably my favorite part of C. I love the language of D though. A and B to me sound really rushed.
-
@mciszek @theologybird @GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth I love Prayer C…followed closely by EOW Prayer 2 and then Prayer D
-
@mciszek @GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth again and again [God] called us to repent. #sigh
-
@mciszek @theologybird @BCPYouth I love C – Deliver us from the presumption of coming 2 this Table 4 solace only, and not for strength;
-
@cmccarson @theologybird @BCPYouth And “Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of bread!”
-
@mciszek @theologybird @BCPYouth … for pardon only, and not for renewal. One of the most beautiful lines in the BCP.
-
@GodWelcomesAll @mciszek @BCPYouth yes. C has a lot of great lines. Obviously.
-
@theologybird @GodWelcomesAll We should have a committee for that. #Structure4Fun
-
@theologybird @mciszek @GodWelcomesAll So, can we just have a service that combines all of them? #SoundsGoodToMe
-
@theologybird @mciszek @BCPYouth I love the Incarnational language of B. And EOW 2 & D’s lifting up of Mary.
-
@GodWelcomesAll @mciszek @BCPYouth B seems to play with the imagery of John 1 in ways I love. “Author of our salvation”
-
@BCPYouth @theologybird @mciszek That might get a little long, even for me.
-
@BCPYouth @GodWelcomesAll @theologybird @mciszek Nope. Way too long of a service. Honestly, I like my Eucharist short and sweet.
-
@theologybird @mciszek @BCPYouth And I love the Eastern heritage of D!
-
@GodWelcomesAll @mciszek @BCPYouth the Ecumenical prayer!
-
@BCPYouth @GodWelcomesAll @theologybird Least favorite liturgical element from EOW: The “supper of the Lamb” fraction anthem.
-
@mciszek @BCPYouth @GodWelcomesAll some, not all, great stuff in EOW. (As some will say abt BCP) #roomforall #Episcopal
-
@theologybird @BCPYouth @GodWelcomesAll Agreed, but my rector likes that fraction anthem and used it all summer this last year. 😦
-
@BCPYouth @theologybird @mciszek I love pretty much *all* the BCP, but want more pretty prayers. Dunno that any one book can hold all of it!
-
@GodWelcomesAll @BCPYouth @mciszek I want to make shirts “I steal my best theology from the Book of common Prayer”
-
@GodWelcomesAll @theologybird @mciszek We’ll write a new one.#TheUltimateBCP
-
@theologybird @GodWelcomesAll @mciszek Let me know when you have the design!
-
@theologybird @BCPYouth @mciszek I’d buy that shirt.
