First time I've been to an Episcopalian church where "genuflect" is a direction in the liturgy. 
It was basically pre-Vatican II Roman Catholicism, except about a third of the words were in English. Priests facing altars, singing Regina coeli, you name it. No adoration of the Host, though, although it was close for a time.
Onto my fourth and final Easter service for the day.

Wow.
I grew up in a tiny country-ish Episcopal church where things were about as informal as you can get and still call yourself Anglican... since I started attending a church in UC, I sometimes feel like I've moved to 19th century England. But it's still nothing like that.

I like Easter. A lot. And Boston Episcopalians have a lot of different types of Easter. *NM*

Church of the Advent is apparently one of the two most "high church" Episcopal churches in the US.
