Reflections on the Sunday Scriptures
Our Ecclesiastical Patron, Lord Chartres, is recording weekly reflections on the Epistles and Gospels appointed by the Prayer Book for all Sundays from Septuagesima to Easter Day.
Online streaming of BCP services
During this third national lockdown, many cathedrals and parish churches are now closed for public worship while others are offering a reduced pattern of services. In these difficult days, many clergy, lay ministers and musicians are now streaming BCP services online.
Other online resources for use during the pandemic
Far be it from me to promote a cult of quaintness, but the power of the Prayer Book to connect with many of those who find the ordinary diet of the church banal, should not be ignored. There is now a younger generation who are realising afresh the importance of complementing the argot of Twitter and SMS with the majesty of Cranmer.
