Love the use of the High Altar, so many Catholic and Anglican Churches neglect the old high altar ever since the modernist liturgies were adopted, so it's nice to see it's still used

[@johnking5174]

Modernist? It was Thomas Cranmer in the 16th century who decided that the communion service should be celebrated with a table facing the congregation and not the High Altar. Hardly modernist.

TheRenaissanceman65 you just going to follow me around video to video making small but insignificant corrections months if not years after the original comment was made

Also my point was to see the high altar used in any manner instead of just sitting in some dark corner or worse ripped out entirely, I watched the service I saw the table in front used which I agree is less preferable then using it for the entirety of the service
