They are not acolytes, acolytes are servers who've been serving for a long time already, these are experienced servers. They assist on the altar during high mass with the deacons, they may also serve as the MC or master of ceremonies. The responsibilites of an acolyte is to teach younger servers and assist in high masses. These servers depicted in the video are still regular servers or some may be seniors. Ill put here the ranks of an altar server: 1. Newbie/Observer: These are newly joined servers and they have to observe first before serving. 2. Aspirant: These are new altar servers, they should start observing the older servers to learn. They can't touch vessels yet, they still cant assist the priest, they can only attend the mass but they can already serve. 3. Server/Regular Server: These are ordinary servers, they can already assist the priest and touch vessels, they can teach the aspirants. 4. Altar Server: This is an older server, they've been serving for almost a year already, they can teach the younger servers. 5. Senior Altar Server: These are servers who've been serving for almost 2 years, they should know already the parts of the mass. Their responsibility is to teach the younger servers. 6. Sacristan: These are servers who've been serving for 3-5 years, their responsibility is to take care of the sacristy and lead the ministry. 7. Acolyte/MC: They are the oldest servers, theyve been serving for a long time already, their responsibilites are to teach the younger servers and serve during high masses with the deacons. 8. Seminarian: Some servers become seminarians.

I have recently started going to my local parish Church (Church of England) and after six weeks I have been asked if I would like to become an Acolyte. Obviously I said yes because that's is why I am here. I am quite exited becoming one as I want to get involved more and also serve God and my local community.

It's a way to help lazy priests abuse the liturgy. They'll soon ask you to give out communion to the 20 people at mass that the priest can easily handle and that by church law he should take care of himself. And if you're a girl, even better. They'll be able to show how woke they are by having you give out communion, as if you're a girl priest. Bergoglio's sinking the Church fast.

It was true joy to attend Christmas Eve Service, and to hear a deeply memorable, moving sermon on the birth of Christ. Thank you STW, Michael Smith and Rev, Matt Burdette.

Brenda, your cat's sound track was fabulous. With the first "Meow" I jumped and looked to my right, because it sounded like he/she was right here beside my desk! Thanks for this tour of your gorgeous garden. I live at Foulkeways and inherited a once-beautiful and soon-to-be-tamed garden, and working out there on days that are warm enough have kept me sane and happy!

I loved "An instrument of execution has become a tree of life." And your suggesting that we listen to Bach's St Matthew Passion, which I sang for years with VoxAmaDeus on God Friday. Not this year, of course. It is a deeply moving, beautiful piece, worth the 3 hours. Thank you, Paul.

Thank you so much for this! I have the same "restlessness" awareness during all of Holy Week. Palm Sunday -- the leaders knew what the man coming on the foal of a donkey meant, and they thought: "We need to put a stop to this!"

Jerome Buescher you’re welcome. Staying in the midst of struggle and pain can feel helpless and confusing... especially this year. I give thanks that Holy Week isn’t the end of the story but let’s not rush to get there. The “ in between” is holy too. Blessings.

I believe that you are a very sincere man Bishop Curry. Thank you for this challenge. A challenge facing the Episcopal Church, which you now help lead, is how it will treat conservative Episcopalians who dissent with the direction of your Church leaders. Will you change the policies of your predecessor and stop the law suits against dissenting individuals, congregations and dioceses that have cost up to $40 million so far?Whole congregations have lost their church buildings and finances because of this. They need you to mercifully intervene:thereluctantsamizdatwordpress.com/2016/01/17/how-many-fingers/
