Each day I follow the daily office from the Northumbria Community. You can find the links for them on the right hand side of my blog.

 

This was the reading/meditation for today:

 

I saw not a temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.

Revelation 21:22

 

It is because to large masses of people Christianity has become synonymous with a temple service that other large masses of people decline to touch it. It is a mistake to suppose that the working people of this country are opposed to Christianity: the people would still follow Christ if He came among them. 

‘The City Without a Church’ Henry Drummond

 

Even though the day be laden

and my task dreary

and my strength small,

a song keeps singing

in my heart.

For I know that I am Thine.

I am part of Thee.

Thou art kin to me,

and all my times

are in Thy hand.
