Anglican Terms Glossary A guide
for non-Anglicans (and new Anglicans) to many of the terms and phrases in use
in many Anglican Churches.
. ·
Fair
Linen -
See Altar Cloth. ·
Faidstool -
See Bishop's Chair. ·
Fast - A day of special
devotion (Ash Wednesday, other weekdays of Lent and of Holy Week, Good Friday
and all other Fridays of the year, except for Fridays in the Christmas and
Easter seasons, and any Feasts of our Lord which occur on a Friday) observed
by acts of discipline and self-denial. ·
Father - a familiar or direct way
of referring to some ordained clergy: the Reverend John B. Smith, but--in
personal conversation or in the salutation of a letter--Father Smith, Dear
Father Smith. Typically used of all Roman Catholic clergy and of some
Episcopal clergy. Be careful in using or not using this term: some clergy do
not like it; others are offended if it is not used. Usually the people who
prefer the term assume that you know they prefer it. There is no easy way to
tell what the clergy preference is except by paying attention to letters,
conversations, etc. ·
Feast - A day of celebration
associated with the life of Our Lord, of the Saints, or days of thanksgiving
(see BCP, 15-18). ·
Fifty
Days of Easter, The - From the Great Vigil of
Easter up to and including the Day of Pentecost. ·
Flagon - A large metal or ceramic
pitcher often used for wine (and water) to be consecrated at the Eucharist.
If more than one chalice is used during the administration of Communion, the
flagon (or an additional cruet filled with wine and water) is placed on the
altar at the Offertory, and other chalices are brought to the altar after the
Breaking of the Bread. There should be only one chalice on the altar during
the Great Thanksgiving (see BCP, 407). ·
Folk
Mass -
communion in which the music is often guitars or other instruments instead of
organ music; a term for a less formal communion service which incorporates
new songs, spirituals, folk songs, and contemporary poetry as part of the
worship service. ·
Font - See Baptismal Font;
a basin of water used in baptism. The Episcopal Church practices baptism by
"sprinkling" rather than by "full imersion";
also, a fixed receptacle for holy water at the entrance to the church or in
the sacristy. ·
Frontal- A covering for the altar,
usually of the same material as the vestments or of the liturgical color of
the season or feast. It may either cover all sides of the altar, or only the
front. The altar cloth is spread over the frontal. ·
Funeral - The Burial of the Dead. .
