  • GS2016 Ordinary MP & EP 2016 05 23
    PRAY WITHOUT CEASING Morning and Evening Prayer for Ordinary Time Prepared by The Rev’d Dr Richard Geoffrey Leggett on behalf of The Liturgy Task Force May 2016 A RATIONALE FOR THE OFFICES In the years since the publication of The Book of Alternative Services many Anglicans have found a renewed interest in regular and structured daily prayer as a means of ‘praying without ceasing’. This renewed interest, however, was not served well by how Morning and Evening Prayer were laid out in The Book of Alternative Services. A full and satisfying use of the Offices required wor- shippers to turn numerous times to different pages and then back again. This editorial design meant that many of the riches of the Offices in The Book of Alternative Services were not well- used or even well-known. Other factors have also influenced Daily Prayer in these first decades of the twenty-first centu- ry. First, although The Book of Alternative Services made some strides in more complementary language for God and more inclusive language for people, many contemporary worshippers de- sired that more progress be made towards language that is ‘faithful and fair’. In this set of offic- es a balance has been sought between traditional and more inclusive language for God. Second, in 1992 the Society of Saint Francis published Celebrating Common Prayer, a daily prayer book that introduced a new way of structuring the Daily Offices around the liturgical year. This innovative approach, along with a wider selection of canticles and prayers, influenced many An- glicans throughout the world.

    news #34 MUNGOLIAN JETSET - MUNGODELICS Hot on the heels of 2011`s "Schlungs", the Jetsetters have kept those buttons busily pushed, and are already here with their next chapter installment, featuring 8 new nuggets entitled "Mungodelics". The album is essentially a psychodramatic sequel to the highly acclaimed "We Gave It All Away, Now We Are Taking It Back" album of 2009, as it is musically a blend of originals and remakes made into originals, as well as solo performances and external collaborations from the band`s musical core members, Knut Saevik and Paul "Strangefruit" Nyhus. All in all, "Mungodelics" musically summons everything that is hazy, dazy, underearthly and crazy. This is the Mungolian Jetset taking you on a ride through the seasons, and shifts of the days and nights, from the Cantina to the Ewok forest, via ritualistic dancing at Kilmin Taboour and stellar swimming in the galactic Goa.

  • Green Dubois Advent Devotional
    Something to Ponder on the Advent Journey, A Gift of DuBois Center & The Green DuBois Initiative An Advent Devotional written for and dedicated to DuBois Center A Church Camp of the Illinois South Conference Of the United Church of Christ ~~~~~~~~ And to Introduce Green DuBois An initiative which celebrates, honors and shares the wonder of God’s biodiversity found in this sacred setting Written by Donald C. Wagner Edited and Prepared for distribution by Jill Baker Foreword Church workrooms are holy ground. It is in places such as these that God sometimes chooses to speak boldly in that Still Small Voice which grabs you by the collar and holds you in place until you listen more closely and act most faithfully. Here, in the work room of St. Paul United Church of Christ in Lebanon, Illinois, I was talking with Becky Harrison, the St. Paul Office Manager, concerning the nearing deadline for the writing of this Advent Devotional for Green DuBois. My grandson, Holden, and I had recently returned from the ‘Just You and Me Camp’ at DuBois Center and I was describing to Becky some of the fun which had transpired there when, out of the blue, Becky simply asks, “What is it about that out-of-the-way, podunk place which makes it so special to so many people?” That is when God grabbed me by the collar and made me listen more closely: So, what is it about this out-of-the-way, podunk place which makes it so special, even sacred, to so many people? I pondered for a bit, then like a Star rising in the night sky, the Light glittered on the waters of the DuBois Camp Lake and I knew .
