[Bob J reported this story:]
In our Anglican church, each service begins with a greeting. The officiating
clergyman says, “The Lord be with you.” The congregation used to respond by
saying, “And with thy spirit.”
But, with the modernizing of the liturgy, the minister now says, “The Lord
be with you,” and everyone responds with, “And also with you.”
One Sunday a visiting bishop went to a church where the sound system was
known to be old and unreliable. As he approached the microphone, he tapped
it several times and finally said, “There’s something wrong with this!”
Without hesitation, the whole congregation answered faithfully, “And also
with you.”
