text: When every few years I find myself in London, UK, on a Sunday, I inevitably go to the Sung Eucharist at St. Paul's Cathedral (at 10:30 or 11:00 depending on the season, lasting almost exactly an hour). The texts are in beautiful English, the Ordinary sung by the cathedral choir from a composer such as Byrd or Britten, the hymns both ancient and modern sung with gusto, and gender balance always - when the main celebrant is male then the preacher will be female and vice versa. The Eucharist is celebrated under Christopher Wren's magnificent dome. We are welcomed as we enter and the celebrants greet each person as we leave. And one of the most international congregations anywhere! A sensitive interweaving of traditional and contemporary styles.
