Presiding East or West?
What do you think: is distance maybe as much or possibly even more of a discussion to be had than which way the priest faces? And somewhere in this discussion is a sense of transcendence and a sense of immanence.

Third Sunday of Easter 2022
O God,
in Christ’s humiliation,
you stooped down,
and raised up the fallen world in the resurrection,
grant to your faithful people a holy joy,
so that those whom you have freed
may delight in you eternally;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Breaking Sleep
Carthusian monks and nuns continue what was once a human norm: breaking one’s sleep during the night.
Science and Faith
The poor relationship with Science that many Christians have is part of the reason for anti-vax positions and the parliamentary riots.
Easter is 50 Days
Easter begins in the evening with the Easter Vigil and is celebrated for fifty days as one long festival.
Second Sunday of Easter 2022
Grant, we pray, O God,
that we, who share in the paschal celebrations,
may, through your goodness,
hold fast to them
in the way we live our lives;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
