episcopalian: βyeahh versus populum isnt perfectβ
canadian anglo-catholic: βthis is why we should do it ad orientumβ
episcopalian: βehhh ad orientum has its issues too. some might take it to mean the priest is superiorβ
me: βi understand. this is why we need north-facing liturgyβ
(nobody can argue with me bc thats the english reformation tradition)

@lizzie
versus populum - facing the congregation
ad orientum - to the east (biblically supported)
north facing - innovation
ad romanum - American catholics face rome.
Ah yes, christian qibla discourse.

@technicallydifficult @lizzie I think everyone should just decide on a direction that day and do it and mix things up every so often. God is everywhere, facing the same place all the time doesnt fully capture His glory.
@technicallydifficult @lizzie the world is beautiful and good (dat Jew in me), unfortunately in early kali yuga humans are neutral to bad. and the world can't come close to capturing how awesome God is, even the highest paradises can't, only the kingdom of heaven within us (highest samadhi) kinda can, and even then Ishvara is still transcendent above the Atman so even yogis can't really know Him (at least until they die in mahasamadhi).
