Unauthorized intercessions
I just noticed that the rubrics for many liturgies in the BCP include an opportunity for "authorized intercessions." Does this mean that if prayers are invited all prayers are authorized? What if someone prayed for something unacceptable to the community, like, I dunno, that more Republicans win the mid-term elections? I've never heard of an officiant screening the intercessions before they are offered. The subversion potential is great. I think I'll name my next blog "unauthorized intercessions."
