What a great performance. I have heard this song many times in the church and videos but this performance makes me feel so warmly.
A little kid singing his heart out. The satisfied smile on gentleman’s face at the end. A very nice choir.Happy Christmas!

Omg That is SOO GOOD

[@jackmorrison7379]

Nice work. But looking past the singers I see what looks like a reredos, with no altar. I know Sydney AUS is the lowest of low church places within Anglicanism. So, was there ever an altar there and is it replaced by a movable "communion table"?

[@musicatstandrewscathedrals5302]

Hi Jack! There is normally a communion table there, which was moved for the purposes of the recording during lockdown. In Anglican churches worldwide, the communion table is movable, as the Book of Common Prayer stipulates.

[@amphibica]

The controversy remains whether Holy Communion is a sacrificial work requiring an "altar," or the savior Christ's gift of himself in his supper requiring only a "table." "Let mutual love continue," (Hebrews 13:1).
