The apostle Peter tells his readers, “I shall keep reminding you of all this, although you know it and are well-grounded … Continue reading The Prayer Book and the Christian Year

The Ascent of Morning and Evening Prayer

The heart of the Book of Common Prayer is the daily offices—Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. These services nourish your soul, but not with intense bursts of devotion or with a dizzying complex of options that let you customize your devotional experience.
