Nothing in customary rites should be chanced without a reasonable cause. So to nurture unity, old customs that can be kept without sin or great inconvenience should be kept. -- Philip Melanchthon, Apology XV:51
I think there is much in that little phrase to ponder... for every perspective, position, angle, side or group on matters concerning worship and liturgy issues.
If I got to write a book and fleshed out the rubrics to my hearts content and we all used it. . . then there would be unity, and I would be quite happy with it =o)
Of course, I'd have to figure out what precisely Weedon would do at that part of the service where we are all supposed to turn towards Hamel and laugh. . .

Much to ponder, indeed.
