About this event

Please be advised that there will be congregational singing at this service. Please note that under current regulations, anyone singing in the congregation must keep a distance of 2 metres from anyone else.

We are a liturgical community in the ‘High Church’ tradition of Anglicanism. We value the Anglican heritage of liturgical seasons, reverence and beauty in holiness. The gathering of the community on Sundays ‘lifts up our hearts’, taking us beyond the here and now world of popular culture and consumerism and inviting us to enter into the timelessness of worship. Valuing tradition does not mean our worship is just some sort of museum piece. While Some of the prayers and chants used are traced back to the earliest centuries of the Church, we also value the insights of contemporary creativity (music, hymns and artistic expression) in our worship – ours is very much a living tradition. Above all, the liturgy is an invitation to us all to open our spirits to the sacred and to join with the heavenly worship of the saints and angels.
