Just finished reading Anne of Green Gables with my daughters - I had never read it before but it is always highly regarded by my library colleagues. It did not disappoint - such a beautifully told story, and we're all excited now to continue Anne's adventures with the next book in the series. 📚

A friend visited an Episcopal Church on Sunday. They went at 8AM and were surprised there was no music. I said "Ah yes the classic 8AM spoken Eucharist." But I have no idea why this is a thing - did it begin with the 79 BCP or was there already a tradition of early morning spoken services? ⚓

OTD 225 years ago in Boston, "America's first composer" William Billings died at age 53. I first heard his music at Sacred Harp singings, and especially love "Easter Anthem" Recently I've enjoyed listening to the anthem "Be Glad then America" which seems positively prophetic

The pit in your stomach as you read about another school shooting, having dropped off your own kids at their school a few hours ago. Lord have mercy
“Dozens of frantic parents dumped their cars on side streets and sprinted toward the school.”
Dozens of squads en route to Annunciation Church, casualties reported.
