Hmm. I didn't intend "distract". Nor never use other things in general. It's more that the status of the BCP makes me think each individual Episcopalian ought to have access to a regular service somewhere (at minimum) to a BCP service as canons define it as an expression of our core community text

I guess my push back is, as long as you're offering BCP on the "regular" that doesn't mean you couldn't or shouldn't offer alternative liturgies from time to time, especially when you're the only option in town. We're a wide, diverse communion and it's good to remind ourselves of that.

I think this is further influenced by my experience of growing up in and serving in rural/small town churches, where licensed liturgies can open up new expressions of God for folks who otherwise won't often if ever experience Episcopal worship anywhere else.
