New in Worship material

I’ve added a few selections from The Splendour of God. Prayers and devotions for private and corporate use a prayerbook produced by the Anglican Evangelical Group Movement, a Liberal Evangelical society that flourished in the early and mid twentieth century.

We need a shared, agreed theory of worship. When we understand what we are doing we will do it better. I go for my weekly "fix" at my own church unless I have the privilege of leading worship there or another church. To me, it firstly acts to concentrate and focus our minds on "God" (however and whatever we each conceive God to be); and secondly it provides occasion for and helps that of the Spirit in each of us to resonate with and meld with the Spirit in others, and so with the Universal Spirit. I assert that our prayers need to be "translated" from their plain language and intellectual content into the emotional language of the Spirit to be received, and try to adjust timings accordingly for this to happen. The path to the highest and best within us,where the flame of the Spirit burns at the portal to the Divine dimension, gets overgrown too easily, and we should keep it clear and well-trodden, knowing its route, for the day when we may need it in a hurry. That's my theory of worship. Amen, Jim

    What's here

    A quick look at the 'blogosphere' shows that the nature of the medium means it is all too easy for a 'blog' to convey the impression that its compiler is, at best, self-indulgent and verbose, and at worst, a narcissistic bore.  Religious blogs are by no means immune from this.

    However, while I shall try to avoid sharing my each and every passing thought with you, there is a use for a space for shorter, more ephemeral pieces of writing, and on this website, that's here.   These pieces are likely to be frequently revised, sometimes rewritten and occasionally removed.
