Another element of the communion service which seems to have been discarded - at least in my area - is the comfortable words. Why is this? I miss them.
To be honest I didn't bother about them when I was young. Even then I wondered why the church used such complicated language. After all, what young chorister/organist knows what propitiation means? Still, I heard them every week and they became like a friend to me.
Just as yesterday I moaned about the disappearance of the Sursum Corda and it seems to me that the C of E is chucking out vital texts and replacing them with chatter.
