BREAKING LITURGICAL NEWS - #9Lessons

10 December 2014

Earlier today, blog.sinden.org was able to obtain information about the order of service for the 2014 Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at King's College, Cambridge.

To be clear, we have not obtained the official order of service, or any other confirmation from King's College.

We reported the information on our Twitter account.

Archon

The author of this website is an organist whom the New York Times calls “repeatedly, insisting that he pay for his subscription”. He likes to read parking meters, music, Indianapolis Monthly, and weather forecasts in Celsius, particularly whilst wearing cassock and surplice. He serves lasagna, overhand, as an example to many, and on ecclesiastical juries. He mixes salads, drinks, and metaphors. He takes photos, lots of dinner mints, and a little bit of time to get to know.
