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...

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...

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...

Evening all, thought you may be interested in this website that is (over a course of weeks) offering decent biopics of potential candidates for the new Archbishop of Canterbury. They began with the most 'most probable' folk, so you'll obviously need to delve into the archives to see the men at...

Do you know whether the advice still stands not to support the work of Amnesty International due to their stance on abortion? I haven't heard of change in policy (either from the RCC or AI) but wanted to double check. Thanks. :)

I found this very interesting. Not surprising, interesting nonetheless. BBC News - Wikileaks: Pope's conversion offer damaged relations

I watched Surrogates last night. Typical action film with a really compelling sci-fi premiss that was largely left ignored in favour of chases and shooting. Worth a gander if you want an enjoyable but relatively mindless film.

Did a brief search and didn't see this reported anywhere else. BBC News - Britain's only gay Mass

I've just heard this on youtube and found it exceptionally moving. You've probably all heard it but i thought i'd post it up for the few who haven't. The actual Ave doesn't kick in until half way through but it is really worth watching the whole thing. YouTube - ‪Bobby McFerrin - Ave...

Who's seen it and what did you think?

I dare say this hilarious song has been known by you all for years but i've only just stumbled across it. A few of the references are decidedly English but it's great nonetheless! YouTube - Mrs. Beamish

The CofE website has a prayer for our new government, and I thought that with a couple of very minor tweaks it fitted the contemporary situation perfectly. Heavenly Father source of all truth and wisdom, who knows and loves the whole creation, watch over the Anglican Communion: that truth...

Ruth Gledhill - Times Online - WBLG: Tom Wright to step down early as Bishop of Durham A tremendous shame. Thankfully his most significant contribution to the church (ie. his academic achievements) will hopefully continue. However he is a very powerful voice within the Church of England and...
