    Lovely review - I can hear the curate's voice in my head with the quip about the woman at the well. Excellent!

    Our grandson was baptised there during Sunday Mass. There was a woman dressed as a deacon. She was referred to as "mother." As a Catholic I assumed she was a cloistered nun.
    You live and learn. I hadnt seen fiddle backed vestments and backs to the people in 60 years.

    I wouldn 't mind the organist and cantor dressing casually (within reason) if they were in the West Gallery, where they should be heard and not seen. Ofc if they were in the sanctuary it would be different.
