I'm one plugged in gal ... but, I've blogged about the use of technology and faith on my own blog. <br /><br />I love that we would use technology to reach out, to teach, to connect. However, that being said, I am a lover of tradition. PowerPoint presentations and iPads have a place~ as well they should~ but not during Mass and at the Alter!<br /><br />This is one of the many changes that are coming our way. I feel for you and you situation. Is it possible that many are feeling the same way? Would your Priest be open to a survey of Parishioners on the topic? It might be worth a discussion.<br /><br />A new follower...Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02644912004729029582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848199850119259567.post-85409717463279076972011-06-21T08:56:02.519-04:002011-06-21T08:56:02.519-04:00Thanks for your replies!

I don't want to have to struggle, or rather, I don't want the Mass to be the focus of struggle for me. I have a couple of week's grace as I am attending Mass at my Carmelite Group next weekend. When I have reflected carefully, I shall make my decision.<br />Autumn xxAutumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04186765179750086739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848199850119259567.post-53470715085800031442011-06-21T08:01:20.432-04:002011-06-21T08:01:20.432-04:00Autumn, your post resonates with me.

For three years now I have been exploring the option of attending mass in a neighboring parish (my home parish does not have kneelers, there is applause after communion, much talk in the sanctuary before mass, etc), and to be honest I don't know what I will ultimately decide to do. We need to take it slow and pray quietly, peacefully about this, not act out of anger (words of advice to myself!), and submit ourselves to God's will. Just my 2 cents, I just want you to know I know what you are going through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848199850119259567.post-51134858221881324712011-06-21T07:33:49.948-04:002011-06-21T07:33:49.948-04:00I've seen this in protestant churches.

Apart from everything else, they buzz.<br />How disappointing for those who have converted with the Ordinariate if they visit your church. They will be thoroughly confused.<br />I think we should express our feelings vigorously and stay put until the message gets through.Anglican Friendnoreply@blogger.com
