VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A church that has offered blended Roman Catholic and Episcopal services for three decades has been told by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Richmond to meet in separate rooms for Holy Communion.<\/p>\n

Clergy at the Church of the Holy Apostles were told to devise a plan that allows parishioners to remain under the same roof but worship separately. The plan is subject to approval by Roman Catholic Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo and Bishop Herman Hollerith of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia.<\/p>\n

Parishioners told the Virginian-Pilot (\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/Ugpi8P<\/a>) the blended church has allowed families in mixed marriages to worship side by side and strengthen their community.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Michael Ferguon, the parish’s Episcopal leader, said representatives of the Catholic diocese were supportive of the ecumenical congregation at a meeting this week but were firm on some degree of separation of worship. For instance, the use of a combined liturgy in which the priests move to separate altars in the same room was deemed unacceptable, he said.<\/p>\n

They instructed the parish to come up with a plan that provides for separate liturgies in separate rooms, Ferguson said.<\/p>\n

“What was left in our laps was to develop a way to be together in those parts of the service where it would be acceptable to the diocese for us to be together and then to separate.” Ferguson said.<\/p>\n

Ferguson said he is confident an acceptable arrangement can be worked out. “It could have been much worse,” he said. [Source<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I didn’t realize this situation still existed. \u00a0I had posted on it several years back and thought it would be cleared up after they received their new bishop. \u00a0Though I did have fun with the idea back then and created a possible bulletin for such a blended church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our combined congregations for the progress we have made in the last couple of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It has now been two years since the response at the kiss of peace was “Die, Heretic Die” and the ushers no longer have to wear a tie with their riot gear. <\/b>As we approach this years celebration of Reformation\/Counter-Reformation day I would ask you to refrain from some the actions that occurred last year. We did not look kindly at those who placed a copy Luther’s 95 theses under the windshield wipers of our fellow Roman Catholics cars or those who placed detached Anne Boleyn doll heads on the antennas of our co-worshipers Anglican’s cars. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nWe would also encourage people not to refer to the Immaculate Conception hall as the Papist Patio or the Tynedale Room as the WASPs Nest. Additionally this years memorial of Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman is not to be\u00a0referred to as traitors day. We would ask in the name of ecumenism that\u00a0<\/span>whoever keeps leaving the copies of Apostolicae Curae<\/span><\/a> in the Anglican Rectory to kindly stop. It is not charitable to keep saying that the Anglicans have invalid holy orders.<\/p>\n

In today’s sermon titled “That they may be Two” we will\u00a0jointly preach from the Gospel of John on Jesus’ high priestly prayer.<\/p>\n
