The Parish and Ward Church of St Botolph-Without-Bishopsgate in the City of London EC2M 3TL The Parish and Ward Church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate in the City of London EC2M 3TL CHORAL FESTIVAL MASS of Saint Botolph, Patron Saint [17 June] Wednesday 16 June 2021 at 1.10pm Rector The Revd David Armstrong Guest Preacher The Revd Chris Vipers, Parish Priest, St Mary Moorfields Musicians The Choir of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate Iestyn Evans, Organist and Director of Music St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate - a place of calm, sanctuary and God’s love in the City CORONAVIRUS SAFETY INFORMATION St Botolph’s has a unique NHS Test and Trace QR code which is prominently displayed within the building. Those entering the church may register by scanning the QR code on their phones. The church is thoroughly cleaned daily, and hand sanitiser is available for all to use at the entrance. Please follow the one-way system marked out on the floor, maintaining two metres’ distance from other congregation members wherever possible. It is not possible for collections to be taken up during services at present, but if you would like to consider making a donation towards Christ’s work in this place please see the inside back cover of this order of service for ways to do so safely after the service. Face coverings are currently required by law to be worn by worshippers in church at all times, except at the point of receiving Communion. Those who are leading services, including the priest and the musicians, are exempt from wearing face coverings at some points during the service. During the service We take extra care to ensure that hygiene procedures are strictly observed by priest and people before and during the distribution of Holy Communion. Church of England guidance affects several other aspects of the Mass: Singing: congregational singing is not yet permitted, so only the Choir will sing. The Peace: we ask members of the congregation to remain in their pew and to refrain from handshaking or other direct physical contact during the sharing of the peace. A nod, a smile or some other form of the shared peace of Christ will have to suffice for the time being. At Communion: I will take all recommended precautions with the administration of Holy Communion, including frequent hand sanitisation. Congregation members are asked to sanitise their hands before receiving Communion, and to follow the one-way system marked out on the floor, maintaining two metres’ distance from each other wherever possible. The Chalice: until further notice, Holy Communion will be offered in one kind only to all communicants. Bread and wine will be consecrated during the service, but the priest alone will take the wine. Communicants will receive the host (bread) only. Receiving the host: again, until further notice, the host will not be given directly onto the tongue. All communicants must receive the host from the priest into their hands. Thank you for your understanding. It is important to remember that the sacraments are means of grace and not of sickness, they are physically ministered, and we should take physical care. We continue to pray for all those affected by the virus, and for those caring for them. With God’s love and blessing, Fr David Welcome to St Botolph’s for this service in honour of our Patron Saint. Weather permitting, all are warmly invited to join us after the service for a drink in the Churchyard Garden. A bell is rung. Please stand as the clergy enter The Greeting Priest In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. Priest The Lord be with you All and with thy spirit. The Admission of Churchwardens The service commences with the Admission of the Churchwardens elected for the year 2021-22, Frank Curtiss and Chris Watkins. Please remain standing The Rector, acting as the Archdeacon’s Delegate, says: Those chosen for the ancient office of Churchwarden have legal duties and responsibilities prescribed by Statute and Canon law, and so I now ask you: Will you, as officers of the Bishop, discharge all such duties as are by law and custom assigned to you? Churchwardens: With the help of God, I will. Will you be foremost in representing the laity and in co-operating with the incumbent? Churchwardens: With the help of God, I will. Will you use your best endeavours by example and precept to encourage the parishioners in the practice of true religion and to promote unity and peace among them? Churchwardens: With the help of God, I will. Will you maintain order and decency in the church and churchyard, especially during the time of divine service? Churchwardens: With the help of God, I will. Will you care for the property, ornaments and other moveable goods of the church, keeping an inventory thereof, and duly deliver to your successors all such goods remaining in your hands? Churchwardens: With the help of God, I will. The law requires that before you are admitted to office, you must make the following declaration: Churchwardens: I do solemnly and sincerely declare that I will faithfully and diligently perform the duties of my office as Churchwarden. The Rector then admits to office the Churchwardens elect: I do hereby admit each of you who have made this solemn declaration to the office of Churchwarden to serve in this parish. May God give you grace to serve him with cheerfulness and humility; may our Lord Jesus Christ be with you in all that you do in his service; and may the Holy Spirit guide and direct your path throughout the coming year, that you may fulfil your office to the glory of God and for the good of his people. All Amen. The Churchwardens return to their places, and the service continues with the Prayer of Preparation Priest Almighty God, All unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Act of Penance The priest invites the people to confess their sins. Please sit All Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against thee and against our neighbour, in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We are heartily sorry and repent of all our sins. For the sake of thy Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may serve thee in newness of life to the glory of thy name. Amen. The priest says the absolution: Priest Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. Please stand Gloria in excelsis sung by the Choir Setting: Missa ‘Ego flos campi’—Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla c.1590–1664 Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Please sit First Reading: Proverbs 9: 1-6 read by Chris Watkins, Churchwarden Happy is the person who meditates on wisdom and reasons intelligently, who reflects in his heart on her ways and ponders her secrets, pursuing her like a hunter, and lying in wait on her paths; who peers through her windows and listens at her doors; who camps near her house and fastens his tent-peg to her walls; who pitches his tent near her, and so occupies an excellent lodging-place; who places his children under her shelter, and lodges under her boughs; who is sheltered by her from the heat, and dwells in the midst of her glory. Whoever fears the Lord will do this, and whoever holds to the law will obtain wisdom. Reader This is the word of the Lord.

  • Songs and Music of the City of London: a New Pocket Guide to the City of London’S Contemporary Activities Involving Music in All Its Facets
    June 2021 Dear Clerks to the several City of London Livery Companies, Following the culmination of a two-year project, we are pleased to announce the publication of Songs and Music of the City of London: a new pocket guide to the City of London’s contemporary activities involving music in all its facets. We are delighted that Alderman Sir Andrew Parmley, Lord Mayor of London (2016-17), has written the Foreword. The guide covers education, performance and composition of music, whether in the City’s churches, schools, in the Barbican Centre, on the City’s streets such as during the Lord Mayor’s Show, or through sponsorship by the Livery Companies through education and awards. It also includes the various anthems, songs and sung graces of the City’s Livery Companies. In our research for content, we have been constantly surprised at every turn by such a rich abundance of musical talent, events, venues, and performing groups concentrated in such a small geographic area. In our belief that hitherto no single existing publication has captured the immense array of ways in which the City benefits wider society through the medium of music, the aim of our guide is to fill this gap by means of a concise, accessible guide for all. The publication takes the form of a pocket guide, equally suited to the needs of the tourist, the City worker, and those among the Livery Companies and affiliated organisations who have an interest in the musical events and activities within the City. The material is intended for a generalist audience rather than the music aficionado.

  • The Lost Church of St Botolph
    The Lost Church of St Botolph St Botolph was a 7th-century East Anglian saint, traditionally associated with the pre-Conquest monastic community at Icanho (probably Iken near Snape in Suffolk). This monastery was allegedly destroyed in Viking raids and the saint’s relics were then removed in the 10th century (although Pestell contends that the story of the destruction may have merely been justification for the removal - Pestell 2004, 91). The translation of the relics ultimately entailed the splitting of the body into three parts for distribution to different monastic establishments: the head went to Ely, the middle part to Thorney, and the remainder to Westminster. In London, four churches were dedicated to the saint: St Botolph’s Aldgate, Aldersgate, Bishopsgate and Billingsgate. All the London churches were located next to gateways in the city wall, even Billingsgate where the foundations of the lost church were excavated in the 1980s next to river access through the remains of the Roman riverside wall. This association with boundaries seems to have been common by the end of the 11th century and indeed St Botolph Billingsgate was where merchants from Flanders, Normandy and the Rhineland paid tolls. Even churches abroad, such as St Botolph in Viborg, Denmark, were located at the boundary of the medieval town (Morris 1989, 219). The position of the lost St Botolph in Norwich therefore is intriguing. The earliest known documentary reference to the Norwich church is in the later 13th century when it is referred to as (Ecclesia) Sancti Botulphi (Sandred and Lindström 1989, 36) but it seems very probable that the church existed before 1066.
