Thanks to all of you who have read my post from last night, "The Fault in our Churches." Since some of you may have read my blog for the first time, I want to mention my ongoing ministry of common prayer on SoundCloud.
Each day, I record a morning and evening prayer and then post it on my stream. Based on the saying that he who sings prays twice, much of the prayer is chanted. I leave room for silent reflection between the spoken parts of the service. But the beauty of Soundcloud is that you can just click on the parts you want to hear. So feel free to go on to the next spoken part if you want.
For those already familiar with the Book of Common Prayer Daily Office, what I do is a cross between the individual devotions on pages 137-40, and the full offices of Morning and Evening Prayer. In this highly mobile, and busy 21st century, I can't ring a church bell and expect people to flock in for daily prayers. But I can make them available for you convenience, so that we might still have a common prayer.
Take a listen, and please let me know what you think. I want this to be a truly common prayer, and will be open to any suggestions on how to increase participation.
