Two-cathedral Sunday

Lower detail, stained-glass window at St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. (SOOC.) The cross-hatching on the glass caught my eye today. Worth a look larger.
The upper portion of the window can be seen here.

The sun woke me up early (then disappeared for the rest of the day), so I went to the 7:30 mass at St. Mary's. There is no music at all, which was quite restful. Then, after breakfast, I headed back to Holy Hill (two cathedrals and a synagogue) for the music-filled service at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, which included an amazingly good sermon by priest Mary Anne, who sadly will be leaving us in a few weeks. I will miss her!

Do I get extra credit in heaven for a two-cathedral Sunday?

Or will I be excommunicated by the Catholics?

Pope Francis is a sweetie, but the new guy at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly and sometimes still known as The Inquisition) is scary.
I'm trying to think of something the the other cathedral would excommunicate me for, but all I can come up with that would make Episcopalians mad is not choosing a tasteful shade of polish for my mani-pedi, or not wearing something red for Pentecost.

NO ALERT ALERT

Portland's Boil Water Alert was lifted on Saturday, but DDon's suggestion to drink something fermented remains an appealing alternative.

BRISTOL CATHEDRAL ALERT

Anyone within shouting singing distance of the Anglican cathedral in Bristol, England, should take note that Trinity's fabulous choir will be singing for you in early August. They're giving us a preview of some of the pieces they'll be performing for you. Not to be missed. Here are today's Music Notes from Trinity:

Today the Trinity Choir is singing some of the music it is taking to Bristol, England, this August. As choir-in-residence at Bristol Cathedral, they will offer Choral Evensong almost every day. When the authors of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer merged Vespers and Compline into one evening liturgy, two canticles became mainstays of Evensong: the Song of Mary (Magnificat) and Song of Simeon (Nunc dimittis.) English composers such as Tallis, Byrd, Stanford and Howells, created hundreds of settings of those biblical songs, and new settings emerge even today from all corners of the Anglican Communion. Stanford's Magnificat in C, sung today, is just one of five such settings our choir will offer in Bristol. Of the half-dozen settings Stanford composed, he declared this one (published in 1909) to be his personal favorite.
Along with "Mags and Nuncs," as cathedral choirs affectionately call them, our choir will chant many, many Psalms in Bristol. Psalm 99, sung today during communion, is appointed for August 6, the Feast of the Transfiguration - our choir's third singing day in Bristol. As one of the most joyfully exuberant Psalms in the book, it is suitable for this sixth Sunday in Eastertide. At Bristol, as in most English cathedrals, the Psalms are chanted using Myles Coverdale's translation, circa 1535. It is interesting to compare it (printed in your leaflet) with the 1979 translation found on p. 728 of our Book of Common Prayer.
