An alternative Daily Office version
Topic: Contemporary Prayer

At the bottom left of the page, I have added a series of links to Morning and Evening Prayer from the Church of England. The offices come from a new English prayer book, called Common Worship, which looks like a wonderful resource for people who pray the Daily Office.

I am continuing to read Morning and Evening Prayer from the BCP of the Episcopal Church, and I very miuch enjoy the Daily Office in that form. The Episcopal prayer book has a two-year cycle of readings for the the daily office, and the amount of scripture one would cover in reading the office for two years is quite large, so that in addition to the Psalter, the office brings the worshiper a great deal of scripture. Really a good situation, I think.

I have begun to add antiphons and responsories for the Daily Office on great feasts, like All Saints, which we just celebrated, drawing upon scripture and other liturgical sources.

It may be that we are going to move to Mount Pleasant, which, reportedly, is a very nice neighborhood. I have to see the place this weekend. The Bobster is kind of excited by the idea of living in a nicer environment. We are just hanging on here, while this particular neighborhood goes downhill at an acclerating rate. 

It is possible, however, that we could end up deciding to live in Providence by default, which would not be that great, since it is such an important decision. However, if I retire next year, it really won't matter where I live, and I like Providence a lot.
