This came to me in a fit of whimsey one Sunday morning: What would the favorite parts of the liturgy be for each resident of the Hundred-Acre Wood? (I suppose, being so English and all, we can reasonably assume that they are Anglican.)<\/p>\n
Pooh: The Eucharist, of course — it involves eating.<\/p>\n
Piglet, being a small and easily frightened animal, prefers the prayers, because they are very quiet.<\/p>\n
Tigger likes the singing. He’s not allowed to bounce, but every now and then some of the songs are bouncy.<\/p>\n
Owl’s favorite part is the sermon — best, of course, if it is long and uses big words like epistemological<\/span> and eschatological<\/span>.<\/p>\n Gopher likes looking at the beams and arches — and critiquing the architecture.<\/p>\n Eeyore’s favorite part is the Confession of Sin.<\/p>\n Rabbit loves the tea afterwards, because everything can be just so<\/span>. (OK, so that’s not actually part of the liturgy. The ablutions, then — the cleaning of the vessels after Eucharist. Must be very tidy!)<\/p>\n And Kanga cuddles roo during Bible stories (reading of the Word).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This came to me in a fit of whimsey one Sunday morning: What would the favorite parts of the liturgy be for each resident of the Hundred-Acre Wood?
