  • Prayer for Cities Under Attack

    In the last few days there have been terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels.

    People from all around the world and all traditions stand in solidarity with those places under attack.

    Eternal God
    hear the cries of your people
    as we stand in solidarity
    with those under attack.
    Protect the innocent,
    comfort the needy,
    confound the wicked.
    Give strength to the rescuers,
    determination to peacemakers,
    courage to law-enforcers,
    strength to the weary.
    Amen.

    Interestingly, though +Michael Ingham has taken a great deal of flak over the blessing of civil partnerships, the pressure to provide a service of blessing came initially from the laity, about 20 years ago.

    We are always interested in your comments on the Anglican Communion around the world, and appreciate this titbit from your visit to New Westminster. Enjoy your sabbatical. God bless you and renew you for your return to Bonny Scotia.

  • What the Queen Said at Lambeth

    HM the Q was at Lambeth Palace visiting the AB of C the other day and had quite a lot to say about the church. I must admit that I found some of it quite surprising and not perhaps terribly well advised. Here at Lambeth Palace we should remind ourselves of the significant position of…

    I do like the fact that we have an angel with rainbow wings perched above the High Altar in St Mary’s. Just saying.

  • Have you no scriptural basis though?

    And so Mark comes back to me after the last two blog posts with another question. As there has been quite a lot of interest in the answers I’ve already given, I think I might as well carry on responding to his one-line versions of the big questions of faith. Most recently he has asked:…
