This is a very reverent and decent liturgy, but nevertheless a simulation, as the body and blood of jesus christ are not present if there's no true priest to offer the sacrifice and the episcopal church lacks the priesthood and the grace in its sacraments. This isn't in any way good for you as you inccur in the sin of sacrilege. May the Anglicans rejoin their mother Church, receiving the priesthood so that they can provide sacraments to their followers. Amen.
I suppose it all depends on which "branch" of the Church of England you follow. The low Church is more liberal and evangelical, the broad church being middle ground, and the High Church (Anglo-Catholicism) being steeped in the old tradition. As the English reformation was entirely political and not religious, Henry VIII remained Catholic at heart and the Anglo chruch as well. The Oxford movement reinforced that Catholic tradition within the Church of England.
Yes, the Gradual follows the first reading in the Tridentine Rite. However, we are using the modern rite of the Episcopal Church in a Latin version, and for this rite the Book of Common Prayer simply says, "A Psalm, hymn, or anthem may follow each Reading." So we use solely the alleluia verse before the Gospel.
On Major Holy Days (All Saints and such), we use the modern two readings before the Gospel and sing the Gradual between the first and second readings.
There is a movement in the Episcoapal Church/Anglican tradition that started in the late 1800s I think that is called the Oxford movement. The goal is to be as medieval as possible. Vatican II in the Roman tradition told the church to distance itself from the medieval tradition. So, now the Episcopal Church/Church of England is more traditional than the Roman Church. Go Britain!
In the Episcopal Church the gospel is usually read amongst the people which translates to going into the midst of the congregation (aisle). We also stand as the reading is as if Christ is speaking directly to us.
wow all i can say is wow! its different from the Catholic Liturgy of old, but definitely nbot the protestant happy clappy. Im very proud of my Episcopol brethren. Hold fast to those traditions

Dang, there's like 10 people there. I didn't know the gospel could be read in the aisle either.
