2025年1月5日 奈良基督教会 降誕後第2主日 説教 司祭マタイ古本靖久

[@paulharvey2396]

Thank you for the Holy Eucharist this morning in English -- it was very well spoken and I was moved to receive the Holy Host (bread) and dipping it in the wine I like very much. I felt strengthened and renewed. I hope I can take the holy communion in English again and maybe next time I will stay [If I may] for the Japanese service which I love. If possible, I would like the priest to sing the Collect in a melodic voice, like they do in High Anglican style. I would like to hear this in Japan, in English and Japanese -- the Anglo-Catholic style. I am certain it would be perfect with both of you. I would like Japan to experience the true high Anglican style somehow. It is and was meant to be a preparatory step to unification between the two churches. From the time of John Henry Newman we have been hoping for this. with love and thanks!❤
