[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]False, you were handed the Eucharist after it had been consubstantiated by a priest.  These consecrated hosts and the blessed wine are kept separate from the non-consecrated hosts and wine.  LEMs are allowed to take the consecrated host and wine to homes for visits but they are definitely not allowed to perform the transsubstantiation or consubstantiation themselves because they are not priests.[/quote]

Who cares! We are talking about a school, not a church. The chapel services at most of these schools are not meant to be a replacement for an actual church service. Too many of the students are not Episcopalian.[/quote]

I care because it does matter to me, and it matters to A LOT of other people which is why just about every other Episcopal school in this diocese and in all of our other dioceses have a priest on staff. If the "Episcopal" portion of my children's education were not important to me, I would send them to a school such as Norwood that has a strong secular moral and ethical component to the curriculum.  Since the previous board chair and the previous headmaster, both of whom are Episcopalians, left the school, there is a void of Episcopal leadership among the board and administration. Even the current interim regularly jokes about the school becoming a Methodist school. Given the lack of Episcopalians in the school leadership, I suppose it makes sense that they would not care about having a priest on staff.[/quote]
