  1. You expressed a desire to hear from "the science wing of the Episcopal Church" about risk of transmission from various liturgical practices. I give you: the Diocese of Toronto's SARS Protocols, in the second PDF linked in the following Bishop's letter.

    Thanks for your thoughtful discussion as always.
