Fr. Wayne+ If you have a used book store available, you may find the following from Percy Dearmer. There is a copy of the Parson's Handbook floating somewhere in the Continuum that I purchased in the 1970's. Percy Dearmer had much to do with educating a generation of Anglicans in regard to the Sarum Rite and ornaments. If I can find that book, I'll make it available to you. I believe Vernon Staley may have written a few lines on the subject, but I've also loaned those out, and will have to retrieve them. Since using colors of the seasons is a relatively late usage as well as ornaments for the various ministeries there is no universally accepted standard among Anglicans. From the earliest days, usages and traditions developed within Dioceses. The music, the ornaments, the traditions that Percy Dearmer revived a century ago were beautiful and represent one high point in Anglican practice. However, even if we had the funds, lay leaders and clergy knowledgeable enough to replicate what he did, I wouldn't advise doing it all in one day in Dayton, Ohio or Indianapolis, Indiana.
