    Choral Evensong the 18Th Sunday After Trinity

    ST EDMUND HALL Choral Evensong The 18th Sunday after Trinity Speaker: The Revd Anthony Buckley Being oneself, changing the world 11 October 2020 6.30 pm What is Evensong? Evensong is one of the Church of England’s ancient services. It provides an open and generous space for quiet and reflection, for song and speech and prayer, as it draws from biblical readings, canticles, and the Church’s long tradition of hymns. All are welcome. Many have said, “Prayer is the key to the day and the lock to the night.” In the Anglican tradition, daily prayer is set at morning and evening for precisely this purpose: to give the opportunity to greet each new day as a divine gift and to prepare our hearts and minds for rest each night. It is founded in a sense of gratitude and wonder, and centred on the faith of Jesus Christ. We invite everyone to join in, as they are able, by listening attentively to the choir, readers, and ministers, and by saying together with us those prayers that are marked in bold: the Lord’s Prayer, the Grace, and the Amens. This year, we are meeting in many locations, not just in the Chapel. Space is primarily limited to the choir, readers, and speaker, but contact the chaplain to enquire about seating. Those who cannot join us in person may do so by Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87112377996?pwd=bm9zMWZreEl4M1RiK2to OXNvNW9aZz09 Please join us for drinks after the service. Speaker Our speaker this evening is the Revd Anthony Buckley, Vicar of St Michael at the North Gate.

  • Anglican Principles for Liturgical Revision

    Anglican Principles for Liturgical Revision

    ATR/92:3 Expressing What Christians Believe: Anglican Principles for Liturgical Revision J. Barrington Bates* What principles have guided liturgical revision in the Anglican Communion? This essay attempts to address that question for each of four historical periods, as well as offer suggestions for fu- ture revision. The author asserts that we cannot simply forge ahead with more experimental texts and trial liturgies if we truly endeavor both to value the inherited tradition and to move where the Spirit is leading us. By working toward a shared understand- ing of principles for liturgical revision, the Episcopal Church and other entities in the Anglican Communion can potentially avoid fractious conflict, produce better quality liturgical texts, and foster confidence that we are following divine guidance. “Liturgy expresses what Christians believe. To change the liturgy therefore runs the risk of changing doctrine—or at least those doctrines which worshippers regularly hear and absorb and which become part of their Christian identity.”1 Since the formal establishment of a separate identity for the Church of England from that of Rome in the sixteenth century, the various church entities that now form the Anglican Communion have made numerous revisions to their liturgy. What principles have guided these efforts? This essay attempts to address that question for each of four historical periods: (1) the reforms of the sixteenth cen- tury, focusing on the claims made by Thomas Cranmer and Richard * J. Barrington Bates currently serves as rector of the Church of the Annunciation in Oradell, New Jersey (www.annunciationoradell.org). He holds a Ph.D. in liturgical studies from Drew University, as well as master’s degrees from the Church Divin- ity School of the Pacific, the Graduate Theological Union, the General Theological Seminary, and Drew.
