Still amazed by this offering!! Thanks guys!

Such a magnificent Service to end the 29th Verger's Conference.

When I was growing up the verger in our church was an illiterate farmer who whacked kids and adults with a stick who weren’t paying attention to the homily or not singing loud enough. You never noticed the guy unless you were doing something wrong, and then WHACK! you never saw or heard him coming, but damn that guy had a great swing :) Wow, times sure have changed…

I'm just now stepping into the role of a verger, literally starting from square one as a new member of TEC; this was a wonderful look into my new role (even 8 years after its posting)! Thank you!

Wonderful!! Wish I could have been there!!

GLAD TO BE PART OF THIS SERVICE

WOW VERY IMPRESSIVE

These are great Michael. What is their church affiliation?

I WISH MY PRIEST WOULD SEE THERE WAS NO HARM LETTING ME DO THIS. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY lIFE I LIFE I FELT APART OF THIS SERVICE

Congratulations, John. Especially appreciated your calling it a 'shared endeavor'. Looking forward to seeing you at the next Verger's Guild Conference. Melita Wade Thorpe

Still one of my fave Verger Conferences because of the crew at St. Philip's Cathedral. David Fishburn, organist, Patrick Scott, Assistant Conductor and only wished I could have met Dale Adellman. He was on Sabbatical. So blessed by this music!!!! The organ, OMG the organ..... Such a great choir too!! Peace

Most Informative. As a beekeeper a strongly favour bees Wax candles. Am I also old being fashioned?

Great job making the bylaw information accessible to all Vergers!

Scott & Walt, an excellent explanation of the goals for revising and updating the bylaws, I especially like that everyone and not just those in attendance at conference will be given an opportunity to vote for board members. And BTW, I like bylaws.

Scott and Walt, This was the most un-yuke discussion on Bylaws. Thanks for being clear and concise. See you both in Texas. Melita Wade Thorpe

Helpful as always!

Thanks for the video, gentlemen!

This is a very informative and balanced discussion of liquid paraffin and solid wax candles by very knowledgeable vergers. As President of CM Almy which is a major producer of liquid paraffin candles I can vouch for their popularity - ours are used in over 40,000 churches, and counting, for the reasons listed by David. Yet traditional , solid wax candles still have a place in churches, too. I recommend this video for vergers, altar guild members and clergy. Thanks to David and Margaret!

I have to say that our acolytes are big fans of the liquid paraffin candles -- at least the acolytes with experience carrying the old beeswax candles are. The reason? No wax in the hair, on the cotta, even on the shoes! The liquid wax candles are also much appreciated by the Altar Guild and the church cleaners for the same reason: no spilled melted wax. Another parish gave us a liquid wax paschal candle and set of Advent candles that they did want to use, and while I appreciate the aesthetic of beeswax candles shrinking from use, the financial saving of a new wax paschal candle each year is considerable. We do keep our old beeswax paschal candles around, however, so they can be lit directly from the New Fire -- something I would not want to try with a liquid paraffin candle. One additional downside on the beeswax paschal candle is that occasionally (only once in my own experience) one will not burn evenly and will burn through the side of the candle, spilling hot wax everywhere -- a problem avoided with the liquid paraffin paschal candle. Thank you for an excellent, informative -- and thought-provoking video!!

I love the explanation of the differences between the candles. One trick we use to help acolytes light our beeswax candles easily is to put clear nail polish on the wick. It is flammable, but just a little on the wick makes the candle come to life quickly. So, if you hear someone at the church ask if we’ve polished the candles, that’s what they mean - they have put clear nail polish on the wick.

Beautifully done.

Thanks for the memories of such dynamic times together with vergers at our past conferences. Looking forward to sharing some fried chicken with Margaret again. Melita Thorpe

Thank you for taking this step. Very well done and professional video. Myh compliments to the Videographer (SP?) and director.

Hi Bill. Your guild shop is bigger than ours across the pond, but then you have a few more potential customers than we do. It was great to see you at Malvern and we look forward to seeing you in Houston in October. Steve.

Enjoyed hearing from our Verger Guild President Scott. Great job! Inspiring invite to Camp Allen.

I think you have done a great job with this video.

Excellent, Scott and communications team!!

Camp Allen is a lovely retreat center and will be beautiful in October.. And, Scott, I can attest to the great fishing at Camp Allen. When I go for a retreat, I always take my fishing pole. 😊

This looks amazing! Could you post the recipe? I think I got it from watching multiple times, but not 100% sure. Also, what size tortilla press are you using?

Paul Revere, Plato, T34s The Book of Mormon goes from Athens to Caesar. Put poo in Jesus mouth, and nails

Were I a Floridian I'd ask to be a parishioner at Bethesda by Sea Episcopal Church. The High Arts flourish.

Amazing service....more amazing was the music!! Thanks Patrick and David!!!! OMG....

Nice service in a very inviting building.

The crucifer is SO COOL! He really does it right.

Hahahahahahahaha!

Hilarious!

We Brits can't wait to get there! Looks fabulous! We're all booked - plane tickets - Union Hotel and yes, even the conference! Stephen.

This was lovely and very special for me.

Biting off more than you chew? Sorry - impossible to resist that one. Would really like to see how this "turns" out. Oh no - another apology due for that one!

Isn't it wonderul when the parish has $.!

Bishop Brewer is right on target.

Well worth listening to

Scott, great presentation! I think that every congregation needs to know what a Verger is and they do.

As one of the newer members of the Guild, I found this video to be quite interesting but I had to really strain (at times) to hear what Scott was saying. It would be a whole lot easier if he could in future vids to keep the microphone up closer to his mouth. I viewed this video on my cell phone and the volume was maxed out. You could hear David and the other Verger helping instruct the seminar just fine. This is meant as constructive criticism.
