Thanks you so much for the link and the information. I'll see if I know someone who has access to the journal.

It was reading about the ACNA psalter where I heard about the Lewis (et al) psalter. I think they saw themselves as following on from Lewis but I don't know how much they leant on that revision.

I'm not sure how I've never heard of this before, but I read last night that CS Lewis and TS Eliot were involved in a complete revision of the psalter in 1963. For some reason it never really gained traction in the CofE. I've trained to find a copy online, or even a copy for sale but haven't...

What's it like? I've always in been interested but it's struck me as a little complicated to use?

I use the ACNA 2019 BCP. As Church of England I should probably use Common Worship, but I think the ACNA is just inspired. Plus I don't like using the Common Worship app, whereas the ACNA office site allows you to precisely select the options you want. The Daily Office | Morning and Evening...

Thanks guys, it's really interesting - and to a certain extent encouraging - to hear how churches around the world are responding. I've found that I've been getting frustrated about a few things on a local level about church closures etc. and there's something very helpful about being reminded...

What a fantastically helpful reply, thank you so much!

I'm just wondering how covid is impacting Anglicans around the world. In the UK, in the midst of this new strain, Anglican churches are coming under a lot of pressure to close, especially those in the south of the country that are hardest hit. I'm interested in what the situation is like in the...

There was some research done a few years ago on marriages in the Church of England, and one statistic that really struck me was that a huge number of couples felt that the church wasn't taking their wedding as seriously as they were. (Sorry, I can't remember the actual data!). Now obviously, to...

Hi all, I've been reading a little about the lutheran four volume set on daily prayer - for all the saints - and think that it might just be what I'm after. However it's very difficult to find too much information about it online or even some samples of the pages. Does any here use it? I'm...

Oh I'd find that hard. We don't really get much hear, but nothing beats that childish flurry of excitement whenever snow starts to fall. (Though maybe that's just because of associations with the hope growing up of having a day of school!)

An increasing number have chaplains and the CofE is really pushing it and investing in it at the moment. Ultimately, if young people aren't coming to church then the place we're going to have to meet them is in schools. It's currently not a teaching role - I focus on pastoral support, leading...

Of course the sign of the cross isn't new, but it is as a feature of Anglican worship (probably with the exception of the priest making it during the baptism service.)

Golly, that's a lot of life in a few lines! How are you doing? I remember you and this whole forum with immense fondness. Being part of this community was a hugely significant part of my discernment and it's so lovely to be back.

Hey Naomi, didn't think you'd remember me! Long story cut short - ordained in 2011 and had a wonderful curacy, followed by a hugely challenging first incumbancy, which led to me taking a bit of a step back and am currently the chaplain of a large state CofE secondary school. Also got married 4...

I disagree. Making the sign of the cross for me as an important part of my worship, but I acknowledge that it's an innovation as far as Anglican worship is concerned. Of course there's always innovation in worship (and most of the time that should be encouraged), but for the vast majority of...

Hello! This is a blast from the past!

Things a very well thanks Andy. Day off tomorrow so I'm sitting up late watching a rubbish movie!

*tom buys a drink for everyone, especially Andy and Haylea!*

And the weekend isn't far away. Drinks in the alehouse all round!
