Yesterday was the feast-day of Saint James, the Brother of Our Lord. On that day, some bishops and priests make a point of celebrating the Divine Liturgy that bears his name. I shan’t get involved with the question of how authentic or pseudonymous it is, to what extent it’s Early Christian or later. The Liturgy’s in the possession of the Church and we shouldn’t look into only the historical development of its original core. If something belongs to you and you have the original with its initial spiritual freshness, you can then develop and invest it in order to meet the needs of the worshipping community. Personally, I enjoy this Liturgy because it’s a reminder of a different way. Another way of worship ...
