Bishop Wolf presides at daily Eucharist

Every morning at 9:30 a.m., there is a celebration of the Eucharist. The musical style varies. There's a different presider and a new preacher each day. (Well, I think the Presiding Bishop gets to do his thing a couple of times.)

Anyway, today Bishop Wolf presided. The focus of today is on the ministry of women. The preacher was the Very Rev'd Martha J. Horne, Dean of Virginia Theological Seminary. Music was tres modern. The musicians were a group of musicians who normally do their thing at the Sunday evening EMERGE service at St. Bart's in NYC. Think urban. Think ancient. The hymns were things like "Let all mortal flesh keep silence" but with an electronic beat.

Here are a few scenes from that service. In this first photo, the altar party make their way from the vesting room to the worship space.
