Vague: “ecclesiastical products”

"[K]nown for its statuary and ecclesiastical products" is … well, flabby, and rude twd. our many less-churched users.

I was (prior to the age of reason — and not to be confounded with Thomas Paine's deist tract "The Age of Reason") an Episcopal acolyte (of the Lutherans-who-got-money, rather than the Roman-Catholics-who-flunked-Latin breed).

Notable ecc'al products include

consecrated glass cruets of wine and water,
the chalice that delivers the merged liquid to the communicants' respective lips, and
a (perhaps) consecrated (but dubiously effective) linen napkin for wiping the chalice between sippers, and symbolizing disregard for public-health issues.

(By the way, the monetary link inherent with the above process was disguised by a clever sealed envelope with two compartments, respectively intended for contributions in support of parish expenses, and those in support of proselytization among benighted foreigners. Dad was on the board of vestrymen, and made a point of breaking the weak divider between the compartments, as a sign of confidence in the professional staff's priorities.) 173.220.230.26 (talk) 08:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
