Aha, I see you were raised on the 1928 Book of Common Prayer too.

If you want to see new parts of Harry Potter I suggest you check out Equus on Broadway. I went to see this with the Viking Daughter the week before last. For $ 65 (if you go to tkts) you can see all the naughty bits, full monty.

Indeed. My father (P'ton '57), well before his untimely demise ten years ago, specified (hilariously) that "if there are to be religious ceremonies in connection with my demise, then they shall use the appropriate liturgy from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer." No requirement that we actually have a service, mind you, only that if we did that certain book must be used. He also required the King James version of the Bible. My sister, then in college, said she thought that was antiquated and stodgy (or something less diplomatic), to which my father replied "I don't know about your God, but my God speaks Shakespearian English." Makes me smile even to think about it.
