  • The Eucharist
    The Eucharist The Commemoration of Bishop Lancelot Andrewes Sunday 27 September 2020 11.00am Welcome to Southwark Cathedral Set on the south bank of the River Thames in one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in London, this building has been a constant witness in a place of change. The first church was built on this site around the year 606. First a convent, then a monastery, it became in 1106 the Augustinian Priory of St Mary Overie. With Westminster Abbey and St Bartholomew the Great in Smithfield it is one of the three remaining great monastic churches of London. At the Reformation the Priory became a parish church and it remains so for the people of Bankside. In 1905, as south London was rapidly expanding, the church was consecrated as the cathedral for the new Diocese of Southwark. As well as a place of constant witness to our faith in Jesus Christ, this church has a momentous and proud history and has had links with many famous and influential characters including St Thomas Becket, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens. In the 20th century this cathedral was at the heart of the new movement in theology termed ‘South Bank Religion’. This movement asked challenging questions of people about faith in the modern age which continue to be explored at Southwark Cathedral which describes itself as ‘inclusive: faithful: radical’. Whatever has brought you here today, you are most welcome.Become part of the life here if you can; it will change your life as you encounter with us our living God.

Sutton, Ph.D. A Letter for You… Dear Visitor: Welcome to the service of Morning/Evening Prayer. The services of Morning and Evening Prayer in the classical Book of Common Prayer (1662 & 1928 editions) are the foundation of all the other services of worship. They are neither optional nor extraneous. They are the very heart of the entire Anglican approach to worship. The basis for the primary place of the prayer offices in Anglican worship is first and foremost Holy Scripture. One need not look far before discovering the obvious in the Bible: the largest portion of Holy Writ is a book of set prayers, the Book of Psalms.

  • Ways to Pray If You Can't Get to Church
    Ways to Pray if you can’t get to Church Prayer Resources for when you can’t get to church or for use at home The North Wakefield Benefice - The Revd Dr Jo Kershaw Contents Introduction Simple Forms of Prayer Some Collects and Other Prayers To Say A Form of Prayer During the Day An Act of Spiritual Communion Creative Ways of Praying Some Online Resources A Finger Labyrinth Copyright information: some material in this booklet is taken !om Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England (2000) and Common Worship: Pastoral Services (2000), copyright © The Archbishops’ Council (2000). Used with permission. Perhaps you find it hard to pray at home? You aren’t alone in this, but we hope this booklet will help. Being stuck at home can be boring, frustrating, or lonely, even if there are other people in the house with you! And if you are very unwell, or worried you might become so, it can be frightening, too. God is with us in these situations, whether we are conscious of his presence or not. Remembering this, and relying on him in prayer, can help you to keep going. In normal circumstances, we are pleased to arrange for sick or housebound people to have communion at home, but where quarantine/ self-isolation rules are in place, this won’t be possible. But Common Worship reminds us in its liturgy for the sick that “Believers who cannot physically receive the sacrament are to be assured that they are partakers by faith of the body and blood of Christ and of the benefits he conveys to us by them.” Illness – or self-isolation – can’t separate us from Jesus’ love.

Using Prayer During the Day – a variety of patterns Many people have evolved a daily Quiet Time, for reading Scripture and for praying.With this in mind, Prayer During the Day is offered as a framework for personal devotion; it follows a pattern which would be shared with others.
