A Visitor On Fussy Liturgy

Regarding yesterday's post, a visitor notes,
I was at a funeral for an old friend in his Episcopal parish on Saturday, and, priestess notwithstanding, the ceremony with full Eucharist was beautifully done, with BCP '79 Rite II liturgy, organ hymns, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, Onward Christian Soldiers, etc. It was so nice that my very Episcopal-skeptic wife approached the altar for a blessing, even. In regards to the OCSP liturgy, I have said for some time that if they had made it so that it felt just like Episcopal church used to in the days before the world went crazy, I'd love going there. But they didn't and I don't.
