For readers. I live at Camp Lejeune, NC, eastern USA, home to the "largest base on the East Cost for United States Marines," an honourable breed I proudly report that I served. I am old and live amongst these Marines. Yet, as a southern town, all we have is Anabaptists and Revivalists. Sad and sickening. Something must be done for "Mariners," Sailors and Marines. This scribe travels north each week--61 miles one way to an AMiA mission with a significant place, building, and organ. Yet, they gave way to CCM. The 1979 BCP is horrific enough. But last week, singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" to guitars, a drum, and some weak electronic organ...while the pipe organ sat silent. It's bad in the southeast, especially this town.
Privately, I feed myself. 1662 BCP. Bible lections and commentaries. 6-7K volumes here. Sing the Psalms, as prescribed with the 1662 BCP, by day and night using the Psalter-CD-set from St. Paul's Protestant and Anglican Cathedral, London. Ever feel alone? Well, something must be done locally. I can feed myself, but what about the 180K who live in this town, being fed by Anabaptists, Revivalists, and Pentecostalists?
We bring your Purcell's "Jubilate Deo," a Psalm sung in the morning.
