Apparently this is an actual ad for an Episcopal church in Alabama. I guess this parish used to be the flagship Anglo-Catholic parish in Alabama, but is now an "anything goes" smells-and-bells parish (i.e. Catholic externals minus any Catholic substance), although I personally haven’t been there, so I have to take others’ words for it. As Bob Dylan sings, "the times they are a-changin,’" and this ad most certainly shows that.

The terms I was raised with for the two main branches are 1) High Church - bells, incense, fine linens hand loomed by blind nuns, the whole expensive nine yards 2) Low Church - home made bread, hand made pottery chalice and plate, acoustic music to go with the hymns
Now, I must say they advertise Rite 1, so they aren’t all that new-fangled…

This fits along with Ultimate Christian Wrestling with Rob Adonis. Living in the South is never dull.
