The Taverner setting probably uses a slightly different translation than the one I quoted.<BR/><BR/>The excerpt seems ideal for making radfems think they're worshipping a feminine deity, making Anglo-Catholics (affirming, natch, who else would be there) think everyone's venerating the Blessed Virgin, and leaving low church evangelicals utterly baffled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-1162498481953526032006-11-02T15:14:00.000-05:002006-11-02T15:14:00.000-05:00It is an interesting abridgement:In You, O Woman f...It is an interesting abridgement:<BR/><BR/>In You, O Woman full of grace, the angelic choirs,<BR/>and the human race, all creation rejoices.<BR/>O sanctifi ed Temple, mystical Paradise, and glory of Virgins.<BR/>In You, O Woman full of grace, all creation rejoices.<BR/>All praise be to You.<BR/><BR/>Seems to be little edit here & another there, judith is seeing smudging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-1162497586329810562006-11-02T14:59:00.000-05:002006-11-02T14:59:00.000-05:00judith - you did NOT read correctly.

Lady by the name of Mary, no known last name.<BR/><BR/>But it is interesting that the text is abridged so that that is not at all clear if you don't know the title. The full text is this:<BR/><BR/><I>In You, O Woman, Full of Grace,<BR/>the angelic choirs and the human race -<BR/>all creation rejoices! All creation rejoices!<BR/>O Sanctified Temple, Mystical Paradise and<BR/>Glory of Virgins, He, Who is our God, from<BR/>before all ages, took flesh from You and became<BR/>a child! He made Your womb a throne! A throne<BR/>greater than the heavens! In You, O Woman,<BR/>Full of Grace, In You, O Woman, Full of Grace,<BR/>all creation rejoices, all creation rejoices! All<BR/>praise be to You! All praise be to You!

Or am I having hallucinations. Did I really read that?

(who is the quaffle?)<BR/><BR/>Interesting oil bearers -- <BR/>Prof. Azizah Y. al-Hibri, who teaches both Islamic Jurisprudence and Feminist Legal Theory.<BR/>Rabbi Myra Soifer of Temple Sinai, who's apparent claim to fame, from Google is supporting the decriminalization of marijuana in NV. I'd be interested in the rest of the list. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if there are any Orthodox representatives?Václav Patrik Šulikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776897108406930562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23327221.post-1162481318717420592006-11-02T10:28:00.000-05:002006-11-02T10:28:00.000-05:00Liturgically, it looks to be a very beautiful serv...Liturgically, it looks to be a very beautiful service. <BR/><BR/>Interesting to note is the omission of <BR/>"him" in the Great Thanksgiving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
