To celebrate the Spring Full Moon we are happy to publish the Beaker Common Prayer. Feel free to use these resources to enrich your spiritual experiences and generally gooey feeling. Subject to the copyright and licensing arrangements, of course.
Dear Archdruid, given your spiritual journey as chronicled in the introduction to the Beaker Common Prayer book (BeCP), I wonder whether we could make a case at the next CofE Holy Synod meeting to prepare the necessary legal-parliamentary work to submit BeCP as an additional liturgical tradition to be used alongside that gloriously imaginative prayer book, Common Worship, aka the black book. What do you think?
Also, I missed liturgical music suggestions in the BeCP: you know, something in the wake of great hymn composers like Wesley, Graham Kendrick, etc. Just a suggestion. Faithfully yours,
I have spent a lot of time with 'Druids,' but did not join them as they had a secret squirrel club for making rules and that sounded a bit organised. Their first rule should be that you do not give druids guns. 'Two druids agree!' would be a national headline. Enough; they were generally interesting people. I like your site, so that makes you interesting, too. My real reason for writing is to thank you for mentioning my website, www.stonehenge.co.uk ('.ws' is, as well) but please amend your text as it is not 'official.' It is merely a thorn in the side of English Heritage, whose website is, as they are the custodians of Stonehenge. www.avebury.ws is about to be developed and if you feel you have content that may be of value, please let me know. When time permits I will read more of your site, but have enjoyed what I have seen so far. Many thanks, Alan

ReplyDeleteDear Sally,
ReplyDeleteto paraphrase C S Lewis: mere satire.
Cheerfully,
ha, than I shall retreat into a Methodist sulk, a rare building found these days only on the plains of Norfolk.
