If you can not attend services or will miss one of them and are near a computer watch the services of th Holy Triduum. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter services will be webcast live on the site of the national cathedral and if you miss it you can watch it later. They also keep service webcasts from the last decade on their site. Here is the link in their website for that.

The National Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul is the seat of the Episcopal Bishop of Washington DC and the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church both of whom are strong progressive women. The times for the services are listed on the first link on the post. I hope you enjoy the site. Happy Easter!!!

1. I thought Tridum was what they used to power the Enterprise.

2. LOL no it is the three days of passiontide to easter.

3. Glad you took that post the way it was meant. After I hit post I realized

That my post could be taken as disrespectful but it was meant in a lighthearted way.

4. I love star trek but is it tritanium or luitium that they used on star trek. You really got my brain

going on this one.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

5. Yeah, I'm not sure either but I love having conversations with people like you.

It reminds me of DU of many years ago when we could have different ideas but still have a civil conversation.

[hrmjustin]

6. Oh Thank you!

I like civil discussion as well and for the most part I am always treated fairly. Some people get high and mighty at times but if you try and stay calm and down to earth it usually centers the other person here.

7. That has not been my experience but I am happy to hear from you.

[hrmjustin]

8. I think it has gotten better since they got rid of Meta.

I posted regularly in meta but it really became a hateful place and the admins did the right thing by getting rid of it.

9. Oh, Hell yes! Never in my life have I heard such a bunch of PC crybabies!

Good God, the real world just does not function in PC purity. i spent my life in construction. The best job I ever had was populated by every racial group you could imagine. From Armenians to African Americans. We told racial jokes to each other all of the time! We all understood the racist eliment but we all understood the funny too. We all understood that the steriotypical jokes had merit and were still funny but we all also understood that we really liked each other as people and would do anything for each other. Race was not a factor. These people were my friends! Some folks don't get that.

10. Meta got to be toxic and I am glad it is gone.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

11. It's getting late and it's pretty obvious from your sig line that we disgeee

But I would like to talk to you anywhey, maybe tomorow.

12. I hope you will come back to this group. It has been set up specifically

to encourage civil, respectful and tolerant discussions of religious issues.

hrmjustin is a tremendous asset both to this group and to the site as a whole, imo.

[hrmjustin]

17. I think your a bigger Asset in my humble opinion.

[cbayer]

18. That's nice of you to say, Justin, but I am a big lightning rod

and hope that lots of other people will start participating. I think you are a the big asset here.

Plus, I am going on a big road trip in a few weeks and won't be around much for a couple of months.

13. I'm going to see if I can find some inspirational music, probably on Sirius.

That's what I generally do on Christmas as well.

I find the music of religions profoundly moving. One of the most emotional experiences I have had was in Istanbul when I first heard the call to prayers from 5 or 6 different mosques simultaneously.

[hrmjustin]

14. That is cool.

Last night I listened to the Lamentations of Jeremiah from the Eastern Rite.

That site I linked to you can listen to the service later in the day. They load them up pretty quickly after the service and live webcast is done.

Hugs to you

15. Thanks for all the music links. I have trouble with streaming but can get

through some of them.

Have a loving Maundy Thursday, justin. Enjoy your time with your community.

16. Thanks for you and the Cathedral

I had a dear friend who was a pastoral canon at the Cathedral; with the other pastors there he worked very hard to make the Cathedral a welcoming place for all persons in the area. The "high and the low" were the same there and I felt privileged to worship there and hear the great sacred music. Happy Easter!
