Some readers may know that, shortly prior to Advent of last year (2006), I switched ecclesiastical jurisdictions from the Episcopal Church to the Anglican Church in America, and was also granted postulancy for Holy Orders in that jurisdiction.
This coming Sunday, the 18th of February, during the 9:15 a.m. service, I (along with the other postulants in the parish) will be installed as a subdeacon at St. Stephens Traditional Episcopal Church, ACA, in Timonium, MD. In our tradition, this is installation to an office, not ordination (in the Roman Catholic Church, subdeacons are considered "clerks in minor orders"), but it is a further milepost on the journey.
I am also beginning efforts toward launching a mission parish of the ACA in Westminster, or at least in the Carroll County, MD, area. God willing, of course. We shall see what happens!
