A Valediction to the Church of England

Only the Church of England would sign its own death warrant.

Lead Kindly Light

I found myself transported back to the time of Cardinal Newman this evening, sitting in a glum old seaman’s church on the coast at Walmer.

Like as the hart desireth the water brooks, so longeth my soul after thee O God.

If you are going to go to church, go alone and go when it is empty.

In a lifelong search for meaning, I have found little to compare with matins in an English country church.

Someone in Canterbury Cathedral (the Dean perhaps?) decided that Verse 9 was going a little far .

Can we find peace in this world despite what the Book of Common Prayer says?

You do not have to be a Christian to immerse yourself in the timeless reflections of the Book of Common Prayer.
