I agree. Orthodox fasting is particularly rigorous, and rarely makes sense. But then Orthodoxy doesn't make sense. L On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 2:45 PM, Douglas...

I don't get this. The Summary of the Law is, arguably, my favorite part of the 1928 liturgy, and one of the things that I most miss in the 1979 BCP. It's also...
